After reading the discussion in bug 317337 again, I think that the
change should be announced on a wider scope, e.g. the gentoo-dev mailing
list. Just to make sure that everybody (prefix people in particular) is
on the same page. And especially, if we go for a retroactive change.
Also, trying to summarise it in a table:
SYSROOT ESYSROOT
-----------------------------------------
/ ${BROOT}
${ROOT} ${EROOT} (= ${ROOT}${EPREFIX})
other ${SYSROOT}
-----------------------------------------
Is this correct? What happens if both ROOT and SYSROOT are equal to /?
First or second row?
