profiles/base: mask sys-libs/glibc[custom-cflags] |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
It's far too dangerous and leads to both build-time failures |
| 11 |
for glibc itself and runtime crashes for other programs depending |
| 12 |
on the flags used. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Mask it so people have to actually unmask it in order to footgun |
| 15 |
themselves. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
(USE=custom-cflags in make.conf may or may not be advisible |
| 18 |
(rather than setting it per-package in package.use), but it's |
| 19 |
generally not going to be as dangerous for most/all packages |
| 20 |
as it is for glibc, so it makes sense to make it harder to |
| 21 |
do it for just glibc.) |
