Hello,
Quoting Ryan Hill <dirtye...@gentoo.org>:
gcc is slotted. Is there any reason why we can't simply make grub depend
on a working slot of gcc and set CC appropriately in the ebuild?
We have no way of forcing an ebuild to be built with a particular version of
GCC. This is on purpose, and there are both technical and sociological
reasons for it.
What we can do is take some kind of action if the compiler is 4.6, such as
die with a message to use grub-static instead.
There were a time many applications needed libstdc++3 (or even GCC
2.96) and we lived with 2 slots of GCC without any problem. And there
are many work-around for not using grub legacy : grub-static, grub2,
lilo, syslinux, u-boot-tools, ...
Sorry for the intrusion,
Xavier Miller.
