Gentoo *does* provide a way to have full multilib support like in other
distros; the "emul-linux-x86-*" binary packages. However, only some
popular and commonly needed packages are provided.

Since Gentoo source based, the approach to multilib taken by other
distros doesn't fit well and Gentoo needs to come up with its own way of
doing multilib.
