Actually, I think you've got this the wrong way around. I'm pretty sure from my testing it only unmasks ~x86 masking. I can't get gcc-3.3 to unmask using /etc/portage/package.mask and it's masked in /etc/make.profile/packages. I *CAN* unmask gimp-1.3.17 using /etc/portage/package.mask and it ISN'T masked in /etc/make.profile/packages. Cheers. Jonathan. > > I'd really like to see the portage guys fix this odd behaviour.
