According to PMS, GNU findutils version 4.4 or later is required for EAPI 5 and later. However, for USERLAND=BSD, we currently rely on this alias from profiles/default/bsd/fbsd/profile.bashrc: type -P gxargs > /dev/null && alias xargs=gxargs Since the findutils ebuild does this: program_prefix=$(usex userland_GNU '' g) Note that for the ebuild environment, portage already has a bin/ebuild-helpers/bsd/sed wrapper that calls gsed, which is added to PATH when USERLAND != GNU. In isolated-functions.sh we've got this code that 'alias xargs=gxargs' doesn't apply to: case ${USERLAND} in BSD) export XARGS="xargs" ;; *) export XARGS="xargs -r" ;; esac
