[gentoo-user] Libffi and total anihilation.

[Alan Grimes]

Way to go guys!

I mindlessly fired off an update after like 6 months this morning and
forgot about it and, this evening, realized I had managed to utterly
break python, and by extension emerge. It looks like it was meaning to
shoot itself in the foot from the beginning but it ended up using a
tactical nuclear warhead, guess it really really wanted to get the job
done...

...

What can I say, guys. I'm in awe... This is truly awe inspiring how
after all these years you keep coming up with new and more spectacular
ways to screw up the system...

I tried to bullshit my way around the version block but it actually does
a version query on the library and refuses to run on version 8
regardless of what the file is called.
