Maybe we should ask gentoo-dev? The reason not to use uname -a straight up
is because it forces portage to depend on coreutils. Portage ebuilds
currently do not depend on it unless userland_GNU is enabled. I'm split, I
prefer code to always be as easy as possible, yet I don't like unnecessary
dependencies.

</div>One's bug is another's feature.<br>
libc in uname is honestly WTF but this begs the real question: why<br>
doesn't portage (emerge and repoman to be specific) simply get the<br>
output of uname -a ? It's not written in C, you don't have to mess<br>
around with 5-6 fd's to get the needed data.<br>
<br>
And I think that this is both a design bug and a red herring.<br>
<br>
By the way, should I make a bug report with a patch to remove this issue?<br>
Making it selectable via FEATURES requires more digging around in portage.<br>
