hmm, qmake doesnt seem to be the perfect example: how do you handle
this?
- install qmake-${abi}
- ln -s qmake-${DEFAULT_ABI} qmake
- modify eqmake4 to call the right qmake when doing multilib?
this sounds hackish for a behavior that doesn't make much sense to me
(its an upstream problem here); the glxinfo example seems perfectly
valid though.
