Re: [gentoo-alt] Usable platforms for prefix gentoo on Linux?

[Rabbe Fogelholm]

I can now bring SUSE Enterprise Server 9, Service Pack 3 onto the "usable platforms"
list. I was having great trouble with my machine at work, which is SLES 9 SP 3 with
some customizations that I don't know the details of; some of it is documented in
<http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=197413> (I have now given up on that
particular machine).

Two bootstrapping problems, <http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=197391> and
<http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=199104>, seem to remain even for a cleanly
installed SLES 9 SP 3 machine. The workaround for 197391 is a little bit awkward as
it adds steps to the overall procedure. The workaround for 199104 may however be
generally good for robustness; in the end wget gets rebuilt with default USE flags.
