19 The problem is happening for real at
20 http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=87758

22 there baselayout is necessary. However, baselayout is only pulled in
23 the initial "emerge system" if you use ACCEPT_KEYWORD="~ppc-macos".
24 Hence, I can't compile, because QTDIR is not set for me, while someone
25 having a complete ~ppc-macos system can. Portage won't pull the
26 dependency of baselayout for a reason I think, but the particular
27 problem sheds this light on the whole problem of how to test what on
28 which system.
29
30 I still think that I either shouldn't have been able to emerge QT or
31 that "emerge system" should provide the same base for {,~}ppc-macos,
32 since portage doesn't pull these packages because they are never
33 depended on.
34
35 I think you cannot sell a WONTFIX/REJECTED/INVALID to a user that
36 emerged unstable QT and doxygen on a stable profile. But people may
37 disagree with me here.
