# Robin H. Johnson <robbat2@gentoo.org> (2022-12-04)
# sys-boot/mbr-gpt was a bizzare package extremely sensitive to compiler &
# linker changes. I don't know of any remaining consumers other than one weird
# system I have.
# If you're a consumer: syslinux gptmbr was the successor to this approach,
# you'll need to replace the contents of your BIOS Boot Partition, because it's
# not a direct 1:1 change.
# Only upstream release in 2008. Removal in 30 days.
