Description Hristo Venev 2012-10-22 17:20:44 UTC

Gentoo's binutils does not install demangle.h. There are cases when it's needed. Debian has it in binutils-dev. Why should gentoo not have it?

Reproducible: Always

Woo, demangle.h seems popular:

we install what upstream installs.  upstream doesn't install demangle.h thus we don't install it.

well, that's not entirely true, but it doesn't matter
