Re: [gentoo-dev] New SYMLINK_LIB=no migration tool for review

[Georgy Yakovlev <ya@sysdump.net>]

I've found couple of issues, or maybe not.

systemd installs to /usr/lib/systemd (or /lib/systemd since 234)
unconditionally.
I'm not sure if it's special and should be allowed to do that, but it's
the only package on the system (except gcc/$CHOST dir) that has 64-bit
libraries and binaries in lib.

Here is the list of the bugs I've found and opened, maybe you can add
them as blockers for #506276
