recent Portage spits out things like: * QA Notice: Unresolved soname dependencies: * * /gentoo/prefix64l/bin/ed: libc.so.1 * we should provide a package or some other hack that, based on the platform, mods a vdb entry, such that Portage knows these libs are provided by something (e.g. the fake package) and stops complaining about it We should hand-pick the list of libs to provide (and not blindly register all) such that we would indeed get useful results from this QA check about badly depending on host-provided libs.
Second thought, might want to do this during bootstrap time, because doing it from Portage might be difficult, downside is we cannot update the list in that case. Given the complexity to "just" fix this, I've applied 38794780d573792ba92166291f9bf24b6a6c25aa 51fca1db10a0c9f86713ee12b46cc29c4fb9fa3f in portage.git which silences the check
