Correction: Prefix uses a possibly non-Gentoo, host-provided libc, not |

necessarily GNU libc of an unknown version. |

There are only a few packages I've seen that depend on a certain |

(min/max) version of glibc, and when in use for Prefix, mostly use |

"!prefix? ( elibc_glibc? ( ...) )" |
| 23 |
stuff at the moment. |
