FWIW hoping someone else replies with a proper answer because I'm out on this one, which would likely be right up my alley and I'd have already dealt with it and have a patch if necessary (which being a gentooer is just a dropin to ensure it applies to future updates, once I have it), if I was on laptop. But I'm desktop (and a decade old one at that...), and don't even have much of the infrastructure (beyond solid, which is a build-time dep for components I /do/ use) installed. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
