Also, after compiling the AppDirs (in the few cases where these aren't just python source) I remove the src directory, so it will not be recompiled for other archs. The only thing you get in the appdir as installed by portage is the binary for your arch. In the case of python, maybe this wouldn't matter as much. > /usr/lib is more suitable for the purpose. How would you then reconcile the issues raised in this bug[1] regarding /usr/lib and multilib support? I suppose I still don't know enough about multilib support to know if putting things in /usr/$(get_libdir)/rox would be correct, or if I should just hardcode to /usr/lib and close that bug as INVALID. Then I would have to somehow deal with the special case of rox-clib[2], since it really is a library but it does not have to be in the normal ld search path. I suppose that could actually go in /usr/$(get_libdir) without much trouble.
