FWIW, eradicator active once again. eselect-compiler: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=143697 BTW @ jakob and antarus re comment #18, 21: While I understand and don't disagree with toolchain's eselect-compiler masking, for some of us on amd64 and already used to dealing with its quirks, eselect-compiler is less the "broken thing" than gcc-config-1* was. After all, there'd have never been a need for eselect-compiler if gcc-config wasn't broken re dual bitness in the first place. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
