Well, i've been testing this on an x86 laptop and an x86_64 box over the |
| 14 |
weekend. Good news is that when it works, it works well. Bad news is I've yet |
| 15 |
to be able to get through an 'emerge -e world' without at least a dozen build |
| 16 |
failures that resolve themselves when i clear the cache. The errors range |
| 17 |
between unresolved symbols to 'platform does not support (null)' to compiler |
| 18 |
cannot create C executables to a simple file not found, and everything in |
| 19 |
between. they sometimes crop up during configure, sometimes during compile, and |
| 20 |
sometimes during install. This seems to me like it would be a nightmare for |
| 21 |
maintainers. There are apparently a lot of broken configures out there. |

I'm also worried about the false positives/negatives it may be reporting to |
| 24 |
packages that don't end up resulting in errors, but still change the final |
| 25 |
product in weird and subtle ways. |
