Thanks. Host libc /does/ make sense as "absolutely necessary. Are there any less obvious ones, say of the type that might reach out and grab an unsuspecting dev trying to make his ebuilds prefix compliant? It seems to me that enumerating all (or all non-corner) cases where referencing the host is desired/mandatory, with a blanket rule saying reference prefix unless it's a known exception, should be by /far/ the easiest alternative, here. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
