Yes, I think this is a good idea, it would allow the dependencies to
be expressed nicely as conditions.
But I'm not sure how this would be a USE flag. It should behave like
one during the build, but it would be best if it was not written into
the VDB as such, at least in a way that would be

Zac, I think you misunderstood me here. Crosscompile-only HDEPEND is
definitely necessary, I've seen many packages need this. But what I'm
suggesting is that we also, and maybe only, need ROOT != / - only
HDEPEND dependencies. This means that the dependency would only be
required if the package is

Yes, sysroot is much better, thanks :)
So, does anyone have any objections to just having a sysroot condition
and no --crosscompile or FEATURES=crosscompile?
Essentially, there's still tc-is-cross-compiler, if you want the real
cross-compile semantic, and sysroot conditional dependencies cover

I'm working on some EAPI extensions with the goal of making Portage
more powerful for cross-compilation. See

Currently, it's come down to the following:
- A new dependency type HDEPEND for packages which must be installed
in / at build time. With
