Please keyword app-portage/smart-live-rebuild testing on ~x86. Thanks in advance.

I tested it on x86 and version 0.6.2 seems ok to me, but 0.6.11 spits out some nasty failures during the build:

Sadly, that's bug in the Python distribution itself [1]. At the point, there's no good solution for it. The workaround is to set utf8 locale during the build.

Ah, forgot the bug reference.

 Of course I only added a ~x86.
