Arguably not so bad for GCC, but in general it's a huge problem, and it's the reason [client] and [server] flags aren't popular. (And if features like those are desired, please don't start updating zillions of ebuilds with [-blah] flags. Ask for an EAPI feature that lets flags in IUSE be marked as "require me this way unless something explicitly says otherwise"...) --=20 Ciaran McCreesh --Sig_/gRJGWqeiU79EKwpXaEqaTz6 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAk3BOToACgkQ96zL6DUtXhF8dgCfcMlwZgFVFtcAKDro4aZp0/7j tRYAnRsq201W8EXcC8W1006PCBUi7rsv =fO7E -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/gRJGWqeiU79EKwpXaEqaTz6--
