Due to the issue of non-generic design of multilib-minimal eclass, |
| 15 |
I have decided not to apply those patches. The autotools-multilib can't |
| 16 |
sanely benefit from it, and then there's no consumer for the eclass |
| 17 |
framework. |

We can get back here if there is a new eclass which needs |
| 20 |
the framework. |
