Oh my dear, thank you for the flowers! |

However, what I've seen in the update-snapshots just before my holidays: |
| 18 |
After taking a few more ebuilds from gentoo-x86 rather than prefix-overlay, |
| 19 |
they (again) lack 'elibtoolize', which is still necessary to activate the |
| 20 |
"aix-soname", even if the packages ship with recent libtool. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Btw, that updating from "aix-soname" to "non-aix-soname" showed another bug |
| 23 |
in portage's preserve-libs handling for AIX, IIRC breaking svn when updating |
| 24 |
sqlite IIRC. So I'll have to debug again... |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Anyway, it's time now to convince GNU upstream (libtool, gcc, maybe others) |
| 27 |
this being the Right Thing (tm). |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
In the meantime, we still have to (tell gx86-devs to please) keep 'elibtoolize' |
| 30 |
for AIX... |
