Description Laurento Frittella (mrfree) 2007-04-04 16:51:19 UTC

I'm using an hardened stage3 (stage3-amd64-hardened-multilib-20070321.tar.bz2) and during an "emerge -evp world" i noticed that multilib useflag is disabled (simply -multilib without brackets)

/usr/portage/profiles/hardened/amd64/multilib/use.mask contains

As KingTaco (Mike) already tried to explain in #gentoo-amd64(-dev?), it doesn't matter whether you enable multilib or not. The multilib behaviour is controlled by the multilib eclass. Those USE variables are simply outdated.
