Did you intend this to be needed for those deps to be installed from the
ebuild-tree into the same prefix

One general Question:
How can open source packages work on Unices which are non-Gentoo-Linux
if there are that many unresolved issues you try to point out ?
This is what autoconf and libtool are for, and if a package lacks using
them, autoconf/libtool-like trickery has to be done in ebuilds.

Ok many people today have seen bugs related to "openpam compatibility fixes".
I think it's better explain what's going on, why I'm filling them and why some
of them are marked "openpam and amd64 compatibility".
For who doesn't remember, OpenPAM[1] is the PAM implementation used by
FreeBSD, so al

There's no metadata, no clear indication in the changelog, and a whole lot of
