5 There are at least two ebuilds in portage that uses cp --parente . It wasn't
6 being a problem if it wasn't used.

8 elib can be approved, but we're working on Gentoo/*BSD (and Gentoo/OSX) now,
9 not 4 years from now (ok that was an exageration, but simplify what the
10 problem is: it doesn't seem probable that a newer portage goes out working

13 Remember that we had a bit of opposition also to have gcc using USE_EXPAND-ed
14 variables, I can't figure what would happen also if tomorrow we find a
15 portage with elib working :/
