Created attachment 263271 [details, diff] Patch to better support tests
I ran this ebuild on an ia64 machine "successfully". The build itself and running the tests succeeded, but lots of tests failed or had errors, probably because there are more problems lying a lot deeper (e.g. ia64 support).
We do that for a while now. Sorry for having missed this bug when I added it.
