Bug 149025 – mozilla-firefox-1.5.0.7.ebuild does not check 32bit userspace on amd64 system

• Status: RESOLVED LATER
• Product: Gentoo Linux

mozilla-firefox-1.5.0.7.ebuild does not check 32bit userspace on amd64 system, like on ppc:

   # Fix a compilation issue using the 32-bit userland with 64-bit kernel on
   # PowerPC, because with that configuration, it detects a ppc64 system.
   # -- hansmi, 2005-11-13
   if use ppc && [[ "${PROFILE_ARCH}" == ppc64 ]]; then
        sed -i -e "s#OS_TEST=\`uname -m\`\$#OS_TEST=${ARCH}#" \
            ${S}/configure
        sed -i -e "s#OS_TEST :=.*uname -m.*\$#OS_TEST:=${ARCH}#" \
            ${S}/security/coreconf/arch.mk
   fi

if system running on 64bit kernel and 32bit userspace then merging failed.
Needs code in ebuild for detecting that situation.

Well, at this point this is merily a hypothetical issue as there is no "32bit userspace with 64bit kernel" setup, but we'll keep this open because it might be valid in future.

far future, one might say
