solution proposal

This is not really an issue with the sandbox ebuild, but it would be convenient if it could detect and report this anomalous condition.

Problem:

sys-apps/sandbox will not build when running a kernel that has no support for 32-bit binares (CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION) and a multilib profile is selected.

In effect this will warn people who started out on a multilib profile and booted the "wrong" kernel. It may also be time saving for people who install for the first time.

Even a seasoned user may be confused when emerge exits with:

 * The ebuild phase 'compile' with pid XXXXX appears to have left an orphan
 * process running in the background.


Same problem reported with sandbox-2.5:
