Multilib/gx86-multilib

This page will use amd64 with the additional "32" API for illustration, users of other multilib-enabled arches should adapt the instructions accordingly.

Due to limitations in the older emul-linux-x86-* multilib solution, it is generally troublesome to toggle eclass based multilib on individual packages. Thus, this page currently only describes how to enable it systemwide. These difficulties are expected to lessen as more of the packages provided by the emul-linux-x86-* packages are migrated to use eclass based multilib, and other packages are updated to accept the migrated packages in their dependencies.

Enabling additional ABIs
It is not strictly necessary to specify the default ("64") an ABI, since it is force-enabled by the profiles.
