IIRC it actually was, at one point. The eselect gcc module even allowed |
| 7 |
separate configs for 32-bit and 64-bit on at least amd64/multilib. |

However, the gentoo dev, Jeremy Huddleston IIRC (tho I used to get him |
| 10 |
and another dev with I believe the same initials mixed up, so I might |
| 11 |
have gotten the wrong one), that developed and maintained the package |
| 12 |
moved on (IIRC to Apple... looks like he's still there if I'm googling |
| 13 |
the same one?), and nobody cared to take it up so it rotted until it was |
| 14 |
masked and I guess eventually removed. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Since then I guess nobody's dared (or simply didn't have the prioritized |
| 17 |
time if they dared) mess with the existing gcc-config enough to try to |
| 18 |
turn it into an eselect module again. |
