The problem is not the ebuilds, it's the shell scripts that are |
| 11 |
distributed along with source packages. |

Having a dynamic bash is not really a problem, most distributions do it. |
| 18 |
The only problem is cleanly updating glic, ncurses, readline libraries |
| 19 |
without segfaulting the dyn bash. It's on my todo to find a solution for |
| 20 |
this, but currently I'm living with a half crashed hd at home and |
| 21 |
awaiting the replacement before I can really resume the development. |
