Description Jarl Stefansson 2007-03-12 15:00:46 UTC 
Emerging klibc in an i386 userland on an x86_64 kernel returns:
        "sorry, unimplemented: 64-bit mode not compiled in"

The kernel sources are built using ARCH="i386" and the useland utilities are inside a chroot, only the host kernel is x86_64. 

Klibc Makefile uses uname -m to determine the target architecture and ignores the ARCH parameter.

I think the best solution would be to add support for the ARCH parameter so that klibc behaves like the kernel packages.

Guess you should take a look at CTARGET and/or CBUILD, as thats being utilized in the ebuild. If you have them set correctly, please report back.
