Description Anna Vyalkova 2021-08-10 19:35:04 UTC

The following packages in ::gentoo (and probably more in overlays?) use this
function:

sci-libs/coinor-csdp
sci-libs/scotch
sci-libs/mumps
sys-cluster/gasnet

It's non-trivial so it'd be better if it could be changed in a single place
and maintainers didn't need to copy-paste this function every time.

It seems like kind of a hack to work around terrible build systems.

I don't think this belongs in multilib.eclass.

I would suggest you discuss this elsewhere; bugzilla is probably not the best place for it.

I assume toolchain doesn't want to implement this.
