18 I've meant that if ebuild compiles on *both* ppc and Y-macos (Y - other arch),
19 it probably works on ppc-macos because:
20 1) it supports PowerPC
21 2) it supports Gentoo Prefix
22 3) is supports Mac OS X
23
24 I think it could be extrapolated to other cases like ebuild keyworded on X and
25 Y-platform will probably work for X-platform
