media-libs/vulkan-loader  ~arm64 keyword hack *::Gentoo ~arm64

she builds !!!  least in cloud host on scaleaway... i dont have cool hardware to test other than the cloud host.. 

nor a groovy game ie quake etc..

I understand that this is an arm64 keyword request for media-libs/vulkan-loader. It is great that it compiles successfully, but I don't see the value in it until we don't have any actual arm64 drivers available, which would get loaded by this vulkan-loader.

I'm not sure why you are building this then, in lack of any actual drivers that would be loaded. USE=vulkan on mesa is even masked in your output, probably as the current mesa can only make use of USE=vulkan when combined with various intel or radeon VIDEO_CARDS, which don't exist for arm64 hardware.

I'm also eager to see vulkan on arm64, but I don't see any actual drivers for it yet, other than some qualcomm plans or promises (or I failed to find the actual thing that may have come out meanwhile), some hope that freedreno, etnaviv, vc4 or some such gets it at some point, etc.

Mainly , rpi3 can't use per-sey.

BuT goal in mind was to aquire a full 
Server or workstation for arm64 , 

AMD now makes Arm64 cpu's and embedded radeon, class. 
NVIDIA,  for, ThunderX2 is embedded.


Point being to stockpile packages in repo.


This being tax season, I plan to least get something more powerful. Rock64 has 4 gigs on rpi3 like clone at the least. 

https://www.avantek.co.uk/avantek-arm-server-thunderx2/ wks. At 1200 ish. 

Some take pci-express, cards , possibly of 
NVIDIA for cuda,or  opencl, with off the rack nvidia cards or radeon cards, hopefully with little to no mods. 

Just a Maverick Engineer, any case , the more oMPH , I can build for IOT, for a few , red... apps in a bag.
