I admit that this is an extremely minor point, but shouldn't the src_compile phase really be called src_build since it not only compiles the source code (producing the object files), but links those object files as well (producing the final executable files)? This would also be more consistent with DEPENDENCIES, where build dependencies are called "build" and "built-against" rather than "compile" or "compiled-against". I know that this suggestion would break a lot of existing exheres, but judging by what I have seen so far, Exherbo has no problem with breaking things in the short-term to make the distribution better in the long run, which is one of the things I like about it ;-) . If what I have suggested is totally ridiculous, feel free to redirect it to /dev/null and I won't take any offense to it.
Regards, Tom PS: Maybe src_prepare should be called src_patch since its main job seems to be to apply patches via the expatch function. Then again, the src_prepare name has the advantage of being more generic.
