By the way, I found this:

32 - 32-bit (x86) libraries

http://devmanual.gentoo.org/general-concepts/use-flags/ shows that
USE="abi_x86_32" and ABI_X86="32" have the same meaning, which was my
other doubt.
It's just a way to provide a default but still be able to override it if
needed. Putting ABI_X86="32" in your make.conf will enable abi_x86_32
for all ebuilds, but you can disable it for individual ebuilds by using
-abi_x86_32 in package.use.
