Description Thomas S. Howard 2008-10-17 19:58:00 UTC 
The package creates the directory /usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/lib/, but all the symlinks therein point to nothing:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 portage portage 57 2008-10-17 12:49 libbfd-2.18.so -> /usr/lib32/binutils/i686-pc-linux-gnu/2.18/libbfd-2.18.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 portage portage 52 2008-10-17 12:49 libbfd.so -> /usr/lib32/binutils/i686-pc-linux-gnu/2.18/libbfd.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 portage portage 61 2008-10-17 12:49 libopcodes-2.18.so -> /usr/lib32/binutils/i686-pc-linux-gnu/2.18/libopcodes-2.18.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 portage portage 56 2008-10-17 12:49 libopcodes.so -> /usr/lib32/binutils/i686-pc-linux-gnu/2.18/libopcodes.so

What's the point of that?
