Description Mark Wood 2010-08-09 17:16:49 UTC 
In order to make installing dragonegg easier, it would be nice to have an optional "dragonegg" USE flag that pulls down the dragonegg patch(es) for >=GCC-4.5

Patch(es) can be found here: http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/dragonegg/trunk/gcc-patches/

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install GCC
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
GCC is built and installed without dragonegg patches.

Expected Results:  
When "dragonegg" USE flag is enabled, GCC builds and installs with dragonegg patches applied.

This should be a fairly trivial fix, I wouldn't expect the patch to cause any issues.

we have enough to maintain.  put the patches in your own /etc/portage/patches/ tree and let epatch_user apply them for you.
