I think this is the only clean way to get all required modules into each package without either rebuilding libgnu.a all the time, or having a bloated monster libgnu.a. |

Thinking more of it: +1. |
| 30 |
This would throw away the sed-hacks in gnulib.ebuild itself, and allow |
| 31 |
use of 'gnulib-tool --create-testdir' without any additional hacks. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Simply create the gnulib 'testdir' in "${WORKDIR}/gnulib" like done now |
| 34 |
in gnulib.ebuild, and let C{,XX}FLAGS and LDFLAGS point there. |
| 35 |
And if done by an ebuild function it could just do nothing on [[ CHOST |
| 36 |
== *-linux* ]] or even on 'use elibc_glibc'. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
And if we find out many packages using similar sets of gnulib modules, |
| 39 |
we could create some intelligent cache for libgnu.a... |
