This is the case with dev-lang/v8: it doesn't build on x32 |
2 |
(<https://bugs.gentoo.org/423815>), and upstream said they *won't* |
3 |
support x32 |
4 |
(<https://groups.google.com/d/msg/v8-users/c-_URSZqTq8/7wHl095t2CMJ>). |

Note that with v8 it's not just about getting v8 itself to compile, but |
7 |
also making it generate correct JIT code on x32, which would require |
8 |
substantial changes to v8 code (in fact, a whole new 40K arch port, see |
9 |
the discussion linked to above). |

11 |
Should dev-lang/v8 get p.masked on x32 profile, or is there some better |
12 |
way to handle it? What are your suggestions? |
13 |
|
14 |
I had a crazy idea to just build v8 and v8-dependent packages using |
15 |
non-x32 ABI, but I'm not sure if it's possible and if it would be the |
16 |
right thing to do. |
