1 Hi there,
2 It just occurred to me that the emerges shall be much faster if emerges
3 were able to use config.cache set by other applications. The steps
4 during ./configure could be saved globally in an /etc/config.cache which
5 could be copied over by the current emerge step as it if was its own -
6 and be used. Could cut ./configure time by quite a bit.

8 But since I am a very average guy and there are many people much smarter
9 than myself out there in gentoo, I think this idea has been discarded
10 long ago since there are incompatibilities amongst various software in
11 the way they do, if they do, create their config.cache.
12
13 I was just curious. Have you considered it before? Please reply.
