Rationale: IRIX doesn't include an (s)locate tool as standard, and the only in-tree options are masked due to being non-prefix aware. Furthermore, the slocate-3.x releases all rely on GNU libc's fts implementation whereas the 2.7 release includes its own fts with the source. For this reason, I fixed-up slocate-2.7-r8 to build on IRIX (and, presumably, all other prefix platforms). I thought this was better than porting slocate-2.7's fts implementation to a 3.x release, potentially introducing any number of unknown vulnerabilities/bugs. For your consideration, please find attached the slocate-2.7-r8 ebuild and patches.

slocate is out of tree, use mlocate
