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.
