Description Joel Martin (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-10-14 19:00:18 UTC 
libperl and perl both use get_abi_CHOST to determine the CHOST for the build.
get_abi_CHOST is really a toolchain specific function. glibc and sandbox are the 
only other consumers of this function. perl and lib_perl should really use the
CHOST variable instead. Using get_abi_CHOST interferres with cross-compiling.
Comment 1 Michael Cummings (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-01-16 14:22:23 UTC 
This of course contradicts the 'orders' we recieved to switch everything from CHOST to get_abi_CHOST - i personally could give one fig which is used so long as the output is the same, someone just needs to decide once and for all what they want used.

i asked Joel to file this bug report :)
Comment 3 Joel Martin (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-01-17 06:10:12 UTC 
Right, the output isn't the same when cross-compiling. I pointed this out to vapier and he told me to file the bug.
