when trying to build tdb on amd64 platform, I first added ~amd64 keyword to /usr/portage/dev-libs/tdb/tdb-1.0.6.ebuild. After 'emerge tdb' the configure script failed to handle the x86_64 system type. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. add ~amd64 to /usr/portage/dev-libs/tdb/tdb-1.0.6.ebuild 2. emerge tdb 3.

It hasn't been marked even capable of amd64
Fixed in CVS, thanks!
