Description SpanKY gentoo-dev

we should be able to detect when packages are missing LFS support and issue QA warnings which in turn should get developers to start fixing their packages

i implemented a scanelf based check for CrOS here:
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/platform/crosutils/+/release-R43-6946.B/hooks/install/large-file-support.sh

i'll see about merging that into portage's existing checks.  this bug is for discussion on the topic and to help people find a reference point.

Seems like it should work in metadata/install-qa-check.d/.
