Out of all the packages that are visible (i.e. not masked, hidden by |
| 23 |
uninstallable dependencies, or hidden by useflag requiremenst) |

|

For amd64 I see a build failure rate of ~2%, iow. out of ~10k packages that |
| 26 |
are buildable with a standard profile about 200 fail. (Last run done about half |
| 27 |
a year ago, it's slowly improved since I started in 2006) |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
So the 95% buildable sounds like a very pessimistic estimate to me. |

For x86 the data looks pretty much the same, I think marginally worse. |
