One may even argue that those ebuilds that filter out fast-math are broken |
| 17 |
as it is an unsupported flag. One that can not be expected to work |
| 18 |
globally. (And yes I'm maintainer of one of them (ooffice)). The reason |
| 19 |
that maintainers add them is just because there are too many people that |
| 20 |
insist on using broken flags, but still want to be able to have a useable |
| 21 |
system (including an office suite). |
