Which architecture? Dependency on ppc / ppc64 is unconditional since commit f8f0251b47594046f8d276c00a34e5aa4d20ef22 (bug #705544): https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=f8f0251b47594046f8d276c00a34e5aa4d20ef22
(In reply to Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis from comment #1) > Which architecture? It doesn't matter: if you have librtas installed, util-linux will use it. That's what "automagically links" means.
Theoretically true, but sys-libs/librtas-2.0.2 (the only version available) has KEYWORDS="ppc ppc64". Have you installed this package on another architecture? Why?
jer: on ppc systems, librtas is required for building now. Do you really want me to patch the autoconf just to add an option that would never be used? I think that on ppc* it should ALWAYS be built with librtas.
If necessary, we could set ac_cv_lib_rtas_rtas_get_sysparm=no for arches other than ppc/ppc64. I am still curious to know what arch jer is using, and how/why librtas was installed/uninstalled.

Let's set the cache variable in the build system based on a USE flag instead. (It also led to some sandbox issues being noticed with 'lscpu', which have been fixed separately in librtas now.)
