Thanks. Host libc /does/ make sense as "absolutely necessary. |

Are there any less obvious ones, say of the type that might reach out and |
10 |
grab an unsuspecting dev trying to make his ebuilds prefix compliant? It |
11 |
seems to me that enumerating all (or all non-corner) cases where |
12 |
referencing the host is desired/mandatory, with a blanket rule saying |
13 |
reference prefix unless it's a known exception, should be by /far/ the |
14 |
easiest alternative, here. |
