Description Ambroz Bizjak 2012-12-06 00:11:38 UTC
This package installs libtool .la files, which almost always cause a build failure when a package is being cross-compiled against the library. I do not remember which package in particular failed, but removing the .la files installed by sys-libs/db fixed it.

Reproducible: Always

This ebuild patch removes .la files.

yeah, no, that's the entirely wrong way to approach it
