So I haven't figured out 100% why this is happening, though it is likely that it is due to glibc 2.2 and glibc 2.3, but using the libsmpeg that comes from lib-compat on amd64 makes descent3 work on amd64. Using the one from the emul-linux-x86-sdl causes an immediate error. $ descent3 SIGNAL 11 caught, aborting I've tried to debug this as best I can, and all I can come up with is that it must be the glibc that the libsmpeg was built against. This is the working one from lib-compat: $ ldd libsmpeg-0.4.so.0.dummy linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000) libSDL-1.2.so.0 => /emul/linux/x86/usr/lib/libSDL-1.2.so.0 (0x555c4000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib32/tls/libpthread.so.0 (0x55622000) libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 => /emul/linux/x86/usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 (0x55634000) libm.so.6 => /lib32/tls/libm.so.6 (0x55688000) libc.so.6 => /lib32/tls/libc.so.6 (0x556ab000) libdl.so.2 => /lib32/libdl.so.2 (0x557c2000) libX11.so.6 => /emul/linux/x86/usr/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x557c7000) libXext.so.6 => /emul/linux/x86/usr/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x55891000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x56555000) This is the one from emul-linux-x86-sdl: $ ldd /emul/linux/x86/usr/lib/libsmpeg-0.4.so.0.1.3 linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000) libSDL-1.2.so.0 => /emul/linux/x86/usr/lib/libSDL-1.2.so.0 (0x555c4000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib32/tls/libpthread.so.0 (0x55622000) libm.so.6 => /lib32/tls/libm.so.6 (0x55634000) libstdc++.so.5 => /emul/linux/x86/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 (0x55657000) libc.so.6 => /lib32/tls/libc.so.6 (0x5570a000) libdl.so.2 => /lib32/libdl.so.2 (0x55821000) libX11.so.6 => /emul/linux/x86/usr/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x55826000) libXext.so.6 => /emul/linux/x86/usr/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x558f0000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x56555000) libgcc_s.so.1 => /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.4/32/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x558fe000) Now, I currently have a lib-compat-loki package, in which I have some libraries (which I am now feeling are redundant, but I'll worry about that myself) that I used for heroes3 and smac. Should I add this library to that package, or would it be best to either fix lib-compat to be usable on amd64, or to update the software in the emul-linux-x86-* packages to make it work with these older binaries? Personally, I think the emul-linux-x86-* packages should be fixed.
For me the emerge fails on configure (AMD64): >>> emerge (1 of 5) media-libs/smpeg-0.4.4-r7 to / . . . creating libtool updating cache ./config.cache loading cache ./config.cache checking for a BSD compatible install... /bin/install -c checking for socklen_t... yes checking for sdl-config... /usr/bin/sdl-config checking for SDL - version >= 1.2.0... no *** Could not run SDL test program, checking why... Just dies like that. Any way I can can help to test some?

I just added the older libsmpeg to lib-compat-loki and will used that for both x86 and amd64.
