Perhaps you left out 32-bit emulation support from your kernel? http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-534160-highlight-glibc+double.html
Ah Sorry, thought I've installed a clean 64Bit environment. Will sort this out, Sorry.
BTW: Where is this multilib setting coming from? It is not set by me and also ufed shows it as not set...
Switching to no-multilib solved this, Thx.
