One thing I was thinking, was a USE flag for any non-intel architechture, so |
| 2 |
if your trying to build lilo or grub from an alpha it won't work, and if you |
| 3 |
try to build milo from an i86 that won't work either. |

Just an idea. |

Heh, this is open source in action. Someone installs something they like, |
| 17 |
it doesn't work on a platform they want to use it on so they decide to do |
| 18 |
a port! I love it! Thanks to you and Atma we may end up with alpha and |
| 19 |
x86 ports. |

drobbins, is there anything we'd need to do to the packages in the |
| 24 |
portage tree to make them "portable" among archs? I'd think that once |
| 25 |
glibc and gcc are setup everything would just sorta fall into place from |
| 26 |
CFLAGS="" etc. |
