Nonsense. The 'sse' USE flag is used to indicate the availability of optional x86 sse assembly code. If an arch is incapable of running x86 sse assembly code then it should use.mask the sse flag. What next? (use x86 || use x86-obsd || use x86-fbsd || use x86-od) && use x86? You're not thinking of the big picture here. A single purpose USE flag which is use.mask'ed on non-supporting profiles is far cleaner. Now, you could argue that x86-sse would be a better name for the flag, but since we can't really do USE renames it's kinda moot. -- Ciaran McCreesh : Gentoo Developer (Vim, Fluxbox, shell tools) Mail : ciaranm at gentoo.org Web : http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm
