ppc? ( sys-libs/lib-compat ) At least on x86 this is not required. Please check the situation on ppc.
And when you're at it, can you verify libstdc++ dependency too? Separately for 1.4 and 1.5 slots, thanks.
Well, now that you mention it: we need libstdc++ for ppc too: pluto portage # jedit Exception in thread "main" [error] main: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /opt/ibm-jdk-bin-1.4.2.6/jre/bin/libfontmanager.so: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory The tests i ran didn't complain about lib-compat missing, so i think we can remove it. (would welocme more opinions though)
I removed the dependency on lib-compat. Instead, it 1.4.2.6-r1 now depends on =virtual/libstdc++-3.3. 1.5.0.2 is already depending on that.
