I am searching for a simple way to set the use flag only for the required packages. I don't want to set the whole system multilib so i tried to use autounmask to do the job its working great beside that it starts to loop when setting the use flags autounmask -n

Hello Mario, Thanks for reporting this bug. While the loop is certainly a bug, I must also say that autounmask is not supposed to work for setting multilib_abi_x86 correctly even after fixing the loop bug. Or rather, it would apply the flag for many more packages than needed. The reason is that the dependency information exported by the multilib overlay is wrong, see http://blog.flameeyes.eu/2008/08/18/same-abi-and-any-abi-dependencies
My previous comment was not clear enough. Sometimes you don't want to set the multilib_abi_x86 flag on certain packages, you want to add them to NO_AUTO_FLAG variable instead to stop flag propagation at that point. A good example is dev-vcs/git: some live ebuilds use it, but you don't want to build it and all its dependencies with multilib_abi_x86 just to be able to build that live thing with multilib_abi_x86. Autounmask has no knowledge about that variable. Note: some developers consider this to be abuse of the NO_AUTO_FLAG variable. It was originally meant as a list of packages that don't cross-compile cleanly.
