Lack of a version number always suggests latest "master" branch. |

However, these are Chromium OS overlays. I don't think you're supposed |
| 26 |
to be using them on Gentoo. They're for Chromium OS. For all you know, |
| 27 |
that live ebuild can refer to the master branch of Google's GCC branch, |
| 28 |
and it might not even build or work correctly as a Gentoo compiler. |
