The package media-libs/opusfile bears the local use flag "fixed-point", which is masked at arch/base in profiles and unmasked at arch/mips, on the documented basis that it's a mips-specific flag. In the expected case, the knob is allowed to be selected instead of float, but instead it isn't available. I would suggest changing one of the flags,even possibly migrating to a use_expand flag for something so specific to a platform. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge fails because of float being deselected and fixed-point being use-flag-masked
The fixed-point USE flag is defined in these packages: dev-lang/gnat-gpl:fixed-point - Enable fixed-point arithmetic support for MIPS targets in gcc (Warning: significantly increases compile time!) media-libs/opusfile:fixed-point - Enable fixed-point arithmetic operations media-libs/spandsp:fixed-point - Enable fixed point support media-sound/xmms2:tremor - Support Vorbis using an alternate fixed-point decoder with media-libs/tremor media-video/vlc:tremor - Enable tremor, a fixed-point version of the Ogg Vorbis decoder sys-devel/gcc:fixed-point - Enable fixed-point arithmetic support for MIPS targets in gcc (Warning: significantly increases compile time!) It should probably be added to arch/base/package.use.mask for gnat-gpl and gcc, and removed from arch/base/use.mask.
