On x86_64, these errors are not printed to dmesg like on other architectures, but to. This requires the package. Make sure to select IA32 Emulation if 32-bit programs should be supported (multilib). Gentoo will install a multilib system (mixed 32-bit/64-bit computing) by default, so unless a profile is used, this option is required.
