IMO this is the best thing that can happen on your platform, because |
| 12 |
sys-devel/libperl only is useful as a *shared* library (with 'soname'), |
| 13 |
because the static libperl.a is provided by dev-lang/perl (according to |
| 14 |
the comments in sys-devel/libperl.ebuild). |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
When sys-devel/libperl provides the static libperl.a, you would likely |
| 17 |
have a collision in dev-lang/perl lateron. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Eventually, sys-devel/libperl should generally be package.masked for |
| 20 |
FreeMiNT (as 'irrelevant', lol), or at least install nothing. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
NOTE: The whole tree as well as the dependency resolving within portage |
| 23 |
is designed for shared libraries: When there is a bug in one library, |
| 24 |
only this one package gets rebuilt with the fix, and binaries using this |
| 25 |
shared library will use the fixed one when restarted. |
| 26 |
There is no mechanism to rebuild packages which have the broken library |
| 27 |
linked in statically, so they still use the broken code. |

It's not that I just don't want to change readline to *-aix*, instead I |
| 33 |
still feel having get_libname() on FreeMiNT returning '.a' simply is |
| 34 |
wrong - and doing it right as early as possible is better than doing it |
| 35 |
fast. |
