Description Ole Tange 2002-08-21 08:51:17 UTC

It seems often when I submit a bugreport I get the reply: 
 
Please include version of your compiler (normally GCC) and the settings in 
make.conf. 
 
Now this is understandible but when I include the output from emerge then all 
this basic debug info should be available. If the output from emerge is not 
meant for debugging then what _is_ it for? 
 
So I propose that emerge figures out the version of the compiler and the 
settings in make.conf and print those so debugging will be easier even if you 
only have access to the output from emerge.
