[gentoo-dev] USE_EXPAND and libcs

[Stephen Bennett]

Hi all,

Since USE_EXPAND has moved into the profiles, and we find ourselves
needing to switch code and dependencies based on the libc in use (mainly
due to glibc being weird and bundling several other libraries together),
I'd like to add a LIBC variable to the profiles, and add it into
USE_EXPAND. That way, ebuilds that need to can handle code specific to
one libc in a vaguely sane manner.

Any objections? Comments?

Any reason you don't just do all four (five?) at once?

None really ... make the list LIBC, KERNEL, and USERLAND then, all in
USE_EXPAND. USERLAND will need to be thought about, due to the way
Portage currently uses it internally.

OK, I haven't heard any objections, so these are going in.
