8 For those unaware, those files are part of the gcc C++ runtime, and
9 presently are created as part of the gcc ebuilds (qpkg -f gcc). I agree
10 there is need to provide this separation, particularly to meet the
11 requirements of embedded and handheld devices. However, I am unaware of
12 a move to do so at this time.

14 As I've gotten pretty heavily involved with the toolchain ebuilds
15 lately, I'll take a look at what this will take it. You might search
16 through bugs.gentoo.org for outstanding requests for this and, if you
17 don't find any, feel free to post one and assign it to me.
