Bugzilla Bug 207749

1/ TEXTRELs

 * QA Notice: The following files contain runtime text relocations
 *  Text relocations force the dynamic linker to perform extra
 *  work at startup, waste system resources, and may pose a security
 *  risk.  On some architectures, the code may not even function
 *  properly, if at all.
 *  For more information, see http://hardened.gentoo.org/pic-fix-guide.xml
 *  Please include this file in your report:
 *  /var/tmp/portage/x11-libs/gai-0.5.10/temp/scanelf-textrel.log
 * TEXTREL usr/lib/libgai.so.0.5.10

2/ strict aliasing issues

 * QA Notice: Package has poor programming practices which may compile
 *            fine but exhibit random runtime failures.
 * gai-transparent.c:43: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break
strict-aliasing rules
gai-rox.c:105: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break
strict-aliasing rules

 * Please do not file a Gentoo bug and instead report the above QA
 * issues directly to the upstream developers of this software.
 * Homepage: http://gai.sourceforge.net/

3/ when compiled with --as-needed, things that try to link to it fail

This needs to die, everything (two ebuilds that are using this) is broken, dead
upstream and this is a waste of time.

tend to agree . see linked/blocked bug.

no need for treecleaners.  remove at your leisure.

So, can we nuke this?

Masked package pending removal... Nuke it at whim or I'll do that in the usual
30 days...

Didn't notice one bug was for gai and one for gai-pal.
Package-masked gai as well...

somehow the mask was for x11-plugins/gai-pal and x11-plugins/gai (no such
thing), just fixed it..

Removed.
