15 If you have any library build systems depending on ABI-specific
16 binaries, you should wrap the binaries, otherwise you will have to add
17 and maintain custom hacks for all consumers and for the complete
18 lifetime of the consumers.
19 If you want to add such wrapper, you can look into the multilib-portage
20 overlay for such a wrapper, which has now been working and tested for
21 some years.
