Oh, that explains it. I installed RELEASE and am still on RELEASE tbh. 
Sorry for being on the wrong list... :-/

WITHOUT_LIB32 is supposed to be in src.conf. If it's missing on STABLE, 
wouldn't that mean 32-bit compatibility would be added to STABLE at next 
world rebuild or is there another mechanism preventing this from happen?

Message received and understood. Leaving them alone. :-)

World is rebuilt but I haven't rebuilt my ports but they shouldn't have 
been built against the 32-bit libraries in the first place, should they? 
64-bit libraries are the default choice I assume or am I missing 
something vital here? I'll remove them and see what happens when I 
reboot. It will be an exciting start of the day ;-)

Thanks again for your help, It's highly appreciated.
