Description Aisha Tammy 2020-12-08 19:21:58 UTC 
the patch calls system bc but that means it needs system bc to be installed

while true, there isn't really a way to express this since it's a self-circular loop when not cross-compiling.  ebuilds have no way of expressing "only when cross-compiling" in dependencies.

What we tend to do is build one for CBUILD within the ebuild if it's not already installed.
