True. I should have checked that it pulls in external deps. The upgrade
path is gone anyway since we don't have EAPI=0 dev-lang/python anymore
in tree.

If we don't care about upgrade path anymore might as well get rid of
profiles/obsolete too? And I do care about it, but it's gone now.

I'd like to remind that we can't add EAPI's to system pkgs since it
would break the upgrading path.

If it works well, it should likely go in without USE flag...

I haven't found any using it on march=pentium3.

It looks like debian has it enabled in their gcc-4.4 packages, and
I've not found any problems on deb boxen (32 and 64 bit systems on
modern chips) either.

The USE flag probably ought to be +.

None that I know of, but then again, I have not really played with it a
whole lot to say one way or the other.  If you want to test it, please
file any bugs you find to toolchain.

Thanks,

I'd say what is left unfixed in both trackers gets a CC to treecleaners
in a week or so. Doesn't make sense to keep pkgs that won't build in tree.
