Description Chris Mayo 2007-12-27 19:56:04 UTC 
/bin/arch is deprecated and not installed by default by util-linux-ng in favour of one from coreutils.
But that requires coreutils >=6.9.90 (beta version not in portage).

Adding:
   --enable-arch

to util-linux econf creates it.

v2.13-ReleaseNotes:

 arch(1) is deprecated in favor of "uname -m" or arch(1) from coreutils
 (>= 6.9+). The util-linux-ng package doesn't build arch by default,
 you have to use the option --enable-arch.
Comment 2 Chris Mayo 2007-12-27 20:38:32 UTC 
Exactly. But it's not actually >=6.9, it's >=6.9.90 which is not in portage.
Comment 3 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-12-27 20:40:50 UTC 
We don't install it on purpose, use uname -m.
