libcap-2.22-r1.ebuild.patch

most of the changes are fine

>-EAPI="4"
>+EAPI="5"

there's no point in doing this

>+multilib_src_configure() {
>+	tc-export_build_env BUILD_CC

this should only be done once

>+	tc-export CC AR RANLIB

this should be done on a per-ABI basis, but it doesn't really work today since these env vars will simply get read the next time around.  so running it more than once currently is pointless.

> 	dopamsecurity '' pam_cap/capability.conf

this should only be installed once

It doesn't hurt either because it doesn't affect anything, but I can drop it.

Would it be ok to move both of these to src_prepare? AFACT, at least CC is supposed to be handled correctly by multilib_toolchain_setup in multilib.eclass.

Does the virtual/pam and pambase also need multilib and MULTILIB_USEDEP in this ebuild?

The code behind EAPI 4 is tested more thoroughly. So, for system packages the "always use latest EAPI" recommendation doesn't really count. I think there was also something about the upgrade path...

libcap-2.22-r2.ebuild

This is slightly modified ebuild from FireBurn overlay, it compiles and works.

If there could be done some improvements, please let me know.

Ebuild patch (v3)

This one is based on the earlier two but:

1. keeps EAPI=4,

2. actually respects what tc-export does.

Not sure if we don't want to build 32-bit PAM module as well since that's what's in emul-linux.
