Description Richard Connon 2010-10-05 11:58:39 UTC

This use flag still isn't used in the glibc ebuild.
If it is somehow used it's definitely undocumented what it means for this package.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:




This is a deliberate dupe of bug 203856 since I can't reopen that and numerous comments requesting it be reopened have been ignored.

Are you *sure*? 

If media-libs/gd is installed -> USE="gd" should build a application of somesort with glibc.

It's not in depends list on purpose.

Looks used to me:

/usr/portage/sys-libs/glibc $ grep -r use_with *
files/eblits/src_compile.eblit:		$(use_with gd)
files/eblits/src_compile-2.11.2.eblit:		$(use_with gd)
