Similar to bug 25472, the attached fixes the permissions for the has() function 
in ebuild.sh.

Comment 2 Georgi Georgiev 2003-09-19 08:13:04 UTC

Why not simply look in /proc/self/fd instead of /dev/fd? This way systems without a running devfsd would also work fine.

Agreed.  I'd like to see this fixed in portage as well.

in my local ebuild.sh I simply do 
[ -w /dev/stdout ] && tty --quiet < /dev/stdout || echo "${x}"
works like a charm.

Modified and included.

Per-Ebuild logging breaks this benefit, I just realized... but it
helps to keep depend info clean, which is good.
