I haven't taken a really good look at emerge yet, but from what I've seen |
| 16 |
this could actually be implemented in the src_compile() function of the |
| 17 |
ebuild itself. It would mean a bit of redundant functionality in the ebuilds |
| 18 |
themselves, but I think it could accomplish the purpose. |
