Since lua and slotted lua has ABI_x86 (multilib) support, it would be nice, if we could add this for dev-lang/luajit too.
Hi Conrad, in practical terms, it makes very little sense to run a jit compiler built for 32 bits on a 64 bits system, but I'll give this a try as soon as I have some time. If you have some patches, feel free to poke me on irc.

If you have some patches, feel free to poke me on irc. While I agree, we have the problem, that there are lua packages, which define ABI_X86 and use multilib. So in order to support luajit on that packages with upcoming slotted lua, we would need to support multilib on luajit too.

Closing here. I will drop multilib on the needed packages, as they are anyway old and not much used. And some are even m-n. So no need to add multilib to luajit.
