Description tgyt 2024-05-11 13:38:22 UTC

Maybe this was fixed in newer portage tree, but for me there are two binaries with same md5 hash that are not symlinks:
6bb4ccfc949a7f48fba2fd3f67739113  /usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/13/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-g++
6bb4ccfc949a7f48fba2fd3f67739113  /usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/13/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-c++
Same goes for gcc 12.

There is also possibility g++ is linked or even compiled twice.

Same on armv7

It would help to know which date/commit you're at of ::gentoo.

Huh. Hardlinks indeed. Didn't expect them.
