Try 'ABI=x86 emerge openmotif' Dependency tracking will be broken (see below), but assuming you have x86 versions of the dependent libs, you'll have yourself a 32bit openmotif. > For example, I may prefer different versions for the different ABIs, > while using portage to keep track of each version separately. Yeah, that support is planned, but unless someone is willing to pay me to implement it, it's still going to be about a year before that's possible.
