We've been having some problems that arise from conflicts between the "system" version of libffi and the one installed by GCC when --enable-languages=java is used. Packages are erroneously getting linked to the GCC version and then breaking when the user rebuilds without java. I've seen some vague references that libffi is actually linked statically with gcj which makes me think we could simply not install the internal libs and headers. But after digging through the code and build logs I can't find any evidence that this is the case. I imagine this also applies to Go, but I haven't looked into it yet. Also, is there a testcase I could use to make sure removing the internal libs doesn't break functionality? I don't know enough about these languages to write one myself. -- fonts, gcc-porting, it makes no sense how it makes no sense toolchain, wxwidgets but i'll take it free anytime @ gentoo.org EFFD 380E 047A 4B51 D2BD C64F 8AA8 8346 F9A4 0662
