Did you check with "eix --print ARCH"?  I start suspecting that it's not
the value  of environment  variable "ARCH"  but rather  what the command
"arch" is returning.

And on my laptop that's still

   $ arch
   x86_64
   $

even though I followed the instructions at

   https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:Main_Page

which says: "The two most  prominent architectures  in the desktop world
are the x86 architecture  and the x86_64 architecture  (for which Gentoo
uses the amd64 notation) ... A note for new Gentoo users:  if the CPU is
less than  five years old  and the manufacturer  is either Intel or AMD,
choosing the AMD64 Handbook is probably the correct route".

Did I overlook something  during my initial install?   Is there a way to
teach the kernel to have "arch" output "amd64"?

Slightly worried by now :-(

Sincerely,
  Rainer
