Looks like x11-misc/afterstep doesn't deserve ~amd64 keyword... it || die's on install. Too bad, it's a reverse dep of x11-terms/aterm.

* QA Notice: Package has poor programming practices which may compile
*            but will almost certainly crash on 64bit architectures.

* Function `make_session_data_file' implicitly converted to pointer at asgtklookedit.c:658

There is some related commentary in bug 306107.  I was able to get 2.2.9 to build on IA64 without the gtk use flag, but it failed with it.  There is a log from IA64 in the other bug.

+  22 Jun 2010; Samuli Suominen <ssuominen@gentoo.org>
+  afterstep-2.2.9.ebuild,
+  +files/afterstep-2.2.9-make_session_data_file.patch:
+  Fix implicit declaration of function make_session_data_file wrt #308649.

The only QA warning I now see is LDFLAGS being ignored. Also it's forcing unwanted -O3 optimization.

But this bug seems to be solved.
