You and I must be looking at different tarballs. In my copy of stage3-amd64-x32-20120605.tar.xz, I see /usr/libx32, /usr/lib64, and /usr/lib.

That is not correct; Gentoo's default x32 profile is multilib. Take a look at your /usr/portage/profiles/arch/amd64/x32/make.defaults file:

DEFAULT_ABI="x32"
ABI="x32"
MULTILIB_ABIS="amd64 x86 x32"

FEATURES="collision-protect multilib-strict"

SYMLINK_LIB="no"
