On Gentoo we have to provide support for each possible combination of |
| 12 |
USE flags, CFLAGS, and compiler versions on 32-bit and 64-bit systems, |
| 13 |
on little endian and big endian systems, and with mix of stable and |
| 14 |
testing packages. Slackware just has to get things to compile and work |
| 15 |
once. |
