I'd be quite happy to have to toolchain move to EAPI5.  I suspect we
need an interim solution until that happens ;).

I also don't think EAPI5 sub-slots fix this problem, since GCC
wouldn't RDEPEND on a particular sub-slot of mpc, even if both
packages used EAPI5.  RDEPEND describes potential source
compatability, but we need to record the actual ABI linkage (which is
a subset of the source compatability).

Cheers,
Trevor
