i dont know if there's a policy on this, but we've been treating the
shared libraries in the Gentoo/FreeBSD port like Linux shared
libraries. we control this based upon the vendor field in the
toolchain tuple.
I have no problem with this, other than: the fact that it may create
an incompatible switch-over point for gentoo users, and the unwary
may be expecting for her libraries, built on gentoo, could be usable
on other (gasp!) FreeBSD (-like) systems, and also that GNU/FreeBSD
distributions other than gentoo (if there are any) should not be
discriminated against. At least with GNU/Linux, the vendor field is
completely useless -- what about spin-offs of Gentoo for example,
what do they use?
What do the others think?
I'm running a gentoo/alt-prefix inside Interix on Windows, which i think could
also be titled gentoo, but for sure does not behave fully like linux :)
