Description Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2017-01-04 09:17:14 UTC 
sys-devel/binutils-hppa64 pulls in sys-libs/binutils-libs but shouldn't need it.
Comment 1 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2017-03-12 21:57:52 UTC 
it does need it for newer versions as the comment in toolchain-binutils.eclass:
if is_cross ; then
    # The build assumes the host has libiberty and such when cross-compiling
    # its build tools.  We should probably make binutils itself build a local
    # copy to use, but until then, be lazy.
    DEPEND+=" >=sys-libs/binutils-libs-${PV}"
fi
Comment 2 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2017-03-13 21:20:21 UTC 
I don't get why that would be invalid. If you don't intend to fix it just admit it.

(In reply to Jeroen Roovers from comment #2)

your claim:
 sys-devel/binutils-hppa64 pulls in sys-libs/binutils-libs but shouldn't need it.
i showed that claim was invalid -- it does need it.

but i won't bikeshed things if you prefer a different label since the end result is the same.
