Emerge fails when trying to use the -m64 flag. /var/tmp/portage/dev-libs/Ice-3.4.1/work/Ice-3.4.1/cpp/config/ Make.rules.Linux chooses the Arch by checking the kernel arch with 'uname -m', which doesnt work on a xen guest. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. choose a 32 bit xen guest on a 64 bit xen host 2. emerge dev-libs/Ice 3.
