USE_EXPAND does something like: |
| 16 |
USERLAND="GNU" -> userland_GNU |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
For Prefix, we just need the "prefix" USE-flag (not prefix_XXX), hence |
| 19 |
USE_EXPAND doesn't help us. Adding "prefix" to use.mask (and use.force |
| 20 |
in Prefix profiles) allows us to get the desired behaviour. |
