Description Benda Xu gentoo-dev

Now it is a dependence of dev-python/meson-python, which is introduced by dev-python/numpy-1.25.

Just adding the keywords results in a build error of missing elf.h header.

Reproducible: Always

Hmmm, do we need patchmacho then or something?  What is it going to ELF-patch on macOS?

Looks like it handles macho ok: https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson-python/blob/ecb9de003ed8d2fc0dc63c68050a646c954c070d/mesonpy/_dylib.py. So we just need to tweak the meson-python dep.

Got you.  There is no need to port patchelf to macOS.  Let's focus on meson-python instead.

    dev-python/meson-python: donot depend on dev-util/patchelf for Darwin.
    
    kernel_Darwin uses Mach-O binary formats.  No ELF patch is needed.
