When using genkernel to create an initramfs, busybox fails to build with: ld: i386:x64-32 architecture of input file `applets/applets.o' is incompatible with i386:x64-32 output
Created attachment 346320 [details] emerge info
I hit this when building the kernel in a chroot installing a new x32 system. It got to compiling busybox and crapped out on the ld error. I worked around it by passing CFLAGS="-m64" to just compile busybox, however, when I was up and ran genkernel again, it compiled file. I didn't trace it down.
