In x264 ebuild: x86-fbsd? ( >=dev-lang/yasm-0.6.2 )" So, if ARCH was modified in the prefix freebsd x64 profiles to x86-fbsd instead of amd64-fbsd we would probably gain the most from the Gentoo/fbsd team (because amd64-fbsd never really took off but x86-fbsd limps along). Just a thought, not sure what else it will break (if anything). IMO, the perfect time to test, while you are testing anyway..
re-visit if x64-freebsd port is ever re-vived.
