Description Nolan Eakins 2007-02-04 02:24:33 UTC
All of the emul-linux packages install precompiled binaries. This is completely against Gentoo's philosophy of building everything from source. I should get to watch a compile when I install any of the emul-linux packages. Having the tool chain in place to do this would allow me to include missing libraries and everything else instead of having to rely on some unknown package maintainer adding or removing things I may or may not need.

Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
Prebuilt binaries get installed.

Expected Results:  
These libraries should be built from sources like everything else in Gentoo.

Feel free to reopen with _working_ and _tested_ ebuilds; until then, you apparently have no clue what are you talking about. If we had a way to do such stuff, we wouldn't need the emul-* stuff at all, basically. :P

I hear the "-m32" argument to GCC works wonders.
