29 Good questions. I merged this change from gx86 already with the
30 comment that this would probably break (again ...). Also in the ebuild,
31 internal libffi is removed conditional now, but that would mean
32 virtual/libffi would have to have keywords for ~mips and ~m68k now.
33 It does not. Seems bugzie is down at the moment, so I can't check if
34 there are already bugs for this issue.
