Actually I'm looking into that. According to the information I have found on the python-dev list and in python's documentation the libstdc++ link is not needed, but a dev asked a python herd member for it, and therefore the link was added. Haven't "caught" that dev yet, so at the moment I don't know why that link is there. If someone on this list knows the reason it was added, please enlighten me. -- Marien. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
