So the issue is do ebuilds use CHOST or KEYWORD to key the build for. I
don't know enough about portage to say for sure but I thought they all
used CHOST. If there is one that uses the KEYWORD then link me bud. :p
That's possible. I'm talking about the use tests seen in ebuilds, ie
"if use x86; then" type tests. If you can say definitively that these use
CHOST not keywords, then I'll take your word for it, but I always though
it tested keywords (particularly since amd64 would be x86_64 CHOST,
right? unless the use macro does the conversion from common/gentoo-speak
to chost-speak internally?) but I could certainly be incorrect as it's not
something I've specifically traced.
The tests use the ARCH variable, which is defined in the profile. They
most certainly do not use the KEYWORDS or attempt to do any magic on the
CHOST definitions.
