Description Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-06-01 08:20:05 UTC
As summary says, it's at keywordreq state in bug 272046.

Depending on sys-devel/gcc[libffi] isn't a solution, because that gets broken
when user does a gcc switch using gcc-config.
Comment 1 Bernard Cafarelli gentoo-dev 2009-06-02 13:55:29 UTC
Eclass (and gnustep apps) does not care about libffi or ffcall enabled, so we only have to deal with gnustep-base :)

I'll take a look and test it (hoping I don't have to immediatly rebuild all my gcc's with USE=-libffi!)
Comment 2 Bernard Cafarelli gentoo-dev 2009-06-02 16:50:17 UTC
gnustep-base-1.18.0-r4 added under the virtual/libffi package.mask entry (gnustep-base has keywords for alpha ppc and x86-fbsd, not there yet in libffi).

To get correct include path, I've supposed all libffi matching the virtual will have a pkg-config file, and used pkg-config to get the includedir

It's now unmasked.

Correct.
