Description Francisco Blas Izquierdo Riera (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-03-06 18:33:31 UTC 
The multilib USE flag is disabled after switching from the  ../usr/portage/profiles/hardened/linux/amd64/2008.0/desktop to the ../usr/portage/profiles/hardened/amd64/multilib profile. It should be enabled

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Get a fresh hardened multilib stage3
2.Install and update the portage tree
3.Switch to the ../usr/portage/profiles/hardened/amd64/multilib make.profile
4.Check with emerge -vp gcc that multilib has been disabled.

Actual Results:  
The multilib USE flag that was enabled before now is disabled

Expected Results:  
The multilib USE flag should be enabled

It can be solved adding the multilib USE to the make.conf but it can break a multilib system if not taken into account.

amd64 team. Whats the deal with this flag? It was default. Then it was not. Then it was an obsoleted USE= flag. Is not not obsoleted anymore?

amd64 team: Can you please provide some info re: the status of the multilib USE flag on amd64?  Thanks in advance.

multilib was added back because there was NO way possible without it to properly express dependencies for multilib systems. So it was added back by KingTaco as a hard-coded on always USE flag for multilib systems.
