X (tested older XFree86 and xorg-x11-6.8.1) can't be built against uclibc |
| 19 |
for now (missing math functions) |

I could add to the masked uclibc |
| 23 |
use X && (apply X needed math funcs) |
| 24 |
and/or |
| 25 |
use java && (apply sun-jdk math funcs) |
| 26 |
the java condition is not quite true, they are needed to build sun-j2sdk |
