16 I wonder how exactly genstef broke mips, 'cos mind you, he just reverted
17 to what the ebuild was doing before Bug 114161 was fixed by
18 hard-disabling of hspell [1]. Since mips doesn't have hspell keyworded,
19 it wasn't affected by that bug before it's been fixed and it wasn't
20 affected after the bug has been reintroduced now [2] (Additionally there
21 shouldn't be any problem now except for one called automagic
22 dependencies since the blocker for incompatible versions was there).
