The hyphen ebuild has EAPI=7, but it is not using BDEPEND. It currently tries to pull in Perl when building in a sysroot because of this. I ran "emerge --nodeps hyphen" with a sysroot profile to test using the host Perl, which seems to work correctly. Can the dev-lang/perl DEPEND be changed to BDEPEND to fix this? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run "emerge hyphen" with a sysroot profile Actual Results: It tries to install a bunch of Perl packages (which will fail when cross-compiling to certain architectures). Expected Results: It should just use the root Perl install and save a lot of build time.
