My guess is that he's SOL. If I were in that situation I'd just edit |
| 16 |
/usr/portage/profiles/base/use.mask and see if win32codecs will work on |
| 17 |
that profile, and if they did they I'd try and figure out how to do it |
| 18 |
properly. |

I think there's a good chance that win32codecs just won't work with |
| 21 |
uclibc though. You might be able to find the reason that it's masked on |
| 22 |
bugzilla, in the gentoo-embedded archives or on google. |
