Tested amd64: looks fine here. I have attached a patch to improve the current ebuild. The changes are: -bumped to EAPI4 -uses the DOCS variable -added static-libs IUSE -remove unnecesari .la files There are no packages on portage tree depending on dev-libs/xxl, so, I can't compile anything against it, sorry.
Hrm I'd say that the keywording can wait if it's the first one, the improvement patch is good(ish), but since it's an EAPI bump, it should have a revision bump, so it'll delay stabling. Also since nothing is using it, stabling it doesn't sound like a great idea, especially if it's orphaned. Does the package use autotools? I'd say so given the prune_libtool_files call — in that case you want to make sure to econf --disable-static when static-libs USE flag is disabled, to avoid building it at all, and not just to avoid installing it.
Created attachment 328506 [details, diff] improve-the-ebuild.patch Thanks to Diego for the advice.
Created attachment 328508 [details, diff] new-revision.patch The last one, I promise.
(In reply to comment #1) >since it's an EAPI bump, it should have a revision bump, so it'll delay stabling.
