Description Alexander Weber 2023-08-31 09:59:39 UTC

Generated shortly new cross-toolchain for cross-aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu. 

The generated use-flags config file contains:
# cat /etc/portage/package.use/cross-aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu 
cross-aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu/binutils -multilib
cross-aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu/linux-headers -selinux -multilib
cross-aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu/glibc -selinux -libraries -multilib
cross-aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu/gcc -vtv -selinux -boundschecking -d -gcj -gtk -libffi -mudflap -objc -objc++ -objc-gc -sanitize -multilib

See now the linux-headers and binutils does not have IUSE multilib. So the both enties are useless.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create new crossdev toolchain
2.Check file /etc/portage/package.use/cross-aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu for multilib entries
3. Check the binutils and linux-headers for supported use flags

Doesn't really hurt either.
