What do you mean by "expand" the tarball? If I
merge the tarball in the 
/ of my main amd64 system, then I'll lose my amd64 lib,
won't I? On my 
system /use/lib points to /usr/lib64.

Should /usr/lib point to /usr/lib32 instead? I think it
should in the 
future, but I was not aware the Gentoo layout was LSB (Linux
standard 
base) compliant already. Is it?

I've been looking for that one before posting my original
message. If 
you have a URL, I'll be glad to have it.
