+.B multilib\-strict
+Many Makefiles assume that their libraries should go to /usr/lib, or
+$(prefix)/lib. This assumption can cause a serious mess if /usr/lib
+isn't a symlink to /usr/lib64. To find the bad packages, we have a
+portage feature called \fImultilib\-strict\fR. It will prevent emerge
+from putting 64bit libraries into anything other than (/usr)/lib64.
