multilib-strict check failed!

[ds123]

I recently updated the profile to 17.1 following the instructions as far as I can tell correctly, and successfully. A few days ago I noticed I had a runaway process that showed in as kworker/0:1+kacpid. In my investigations, one thing led to another, things got worse. Long story short I finally decided I was not going to get out of without using the live-cd and start over with a stage3, which I did. I am aware that the stage 3 is not 17.1, and I have been slowly rebuilding packages as I can.

Finally, the specific problem. Numerous packages cannot be installed due to the error "multilib-strict check failed". I have also tried changing the profile back to 17.0 with the same result.

For example, I need to build the kernel, but it required the following program:

dev-libs/libelf-0.8.13-r2::gentoo

Code: Select all

>>> Completed installing libelf-0.8.13-r2 into /var/tmp/portage/dev-libs/libelf-0.8.13-r2/image/

  * Final size of build directory: 2352 Kib (2.2 MiB)
  * Final size of installed tree:     552 KiB

Files matching a file type that is not allowed:
    usr/lib/libelf.so.0.8.13

ERROR: dev-libs/libelf-0.8.13-r2::gentoo failed:
  multilib-strict check failed!

The problem seems to be that it is attempting to install into /usr/lib/libelf-0.8.13 whereas I assume that my system wants it in /usr/lib64/libelf-0.8.13

I used this particular program as an example, but I have dozens of them with the same kind of error. Since 17.1 is described as "stable" this can't be the fault of the profile. Is there some setting that I need to change in order solve this?

Thanks for any ideas.
