had to set hardware platform to amd64 AFTER posting... odd...
You MUST NOT set ACCEPT_KEYWORDS to x86 or ~x86 while on an amd64 system. you can get horrible errors if you emerge an e-build that does `use x86` && patch yadayada the CORRECT method is to add ~amd64 to the flags inside the ebuilds themselves, and make sure ~amd64 is in your ACCEPT_KEYWORDS I will attempt to emerge these tonight.
He is so right; seemed fine at the time but in short order all of gnome started segfaulting for no apparent reason; eventually had to rebuild from stage 1!! from now on Im behaving; nano -w whatever.ebuild and add ~amd64!!
done please don't report blocks like this I tend to not get around to it b/c to close the bug, I have to commit all the changes (as well as test them all). It's ok to submit a block of things like this if they are deps of one another, but most here were not . Anyhow, I finally got around to it, and I'm marking this fixed.
