If you're looking for somewhere to start that would be very relevant to the |
| 20 |
project, take a look at the following two bugs. |

|
| 22 |
This one has to do with something new in OpenMPI-4.0.0 not playing well with |
| 23 |
multilib.eclass. Despite being told to build 32-bit binaries, it's building 64. |

This one popped up recently and I haven't had time to investigate. |

Finally, OpenMPI-4.0.1 is out as well as Mpich 3.3. Both ebuilds could use |
| 30 |
version bumps. |
