This would be needed because there are some patches that need to be applied to gcc/glibc that are needed only for a cross-compiler to be built, and I don't want said patch interfereing with normal, day-to-day useage. Some examples include the patch found here: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2003-10/msg01647.html That patch needs to be replicated for several archs to build a bootstrap gcc-3.4 compiler properly (tested to be needed on ppc, sh4). Probably not the best workaround, and as one of the followups to that URL above indicates, there is a more desirable alternative. Also, some patches need to be applied to glibc for some archs to build, notably sh4 (for anyone looking at the possibility of Gentoo/Dreamcast). Said USE Flag would mostly be applicable to gcc, glibc, and binutils. Possibly kernel-headers too, if needed. Any objections? --Kumba -- "Such is oft the course of deeds that move the wheels of the world: small hands do them because they must, while the eyes of the great are elsewhere." --Elrond -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
