I found it all went pretty smoothly, actually.
I would plan on setting up that 32-bit chroot mentioned in the 32-bit compatibility section... in the end it's simpler.
You'll want to use mount --bind to mount /tmp and /dev into the chroot; /use/portage/distfiles is a good idea unless you particularly want to download things twice, and probably your home directory, too.
I have sudo set up to allow:
sudo linux32 chroot /mnt/gentoo32 su david -
Which lets me have a handy icon to launch a 32-bit terminal. |
