Yes, -bin seem to be the best solution. Otherwise, we'd have to require some kind of portage-capable cross-toolchain for that package. I'd suggest you *DEPEND on it through: || ( sys-apps/seabios sys-apps/seabios-bin ) so that x86 users could still choose the binary package for some reason. -- Best regards, Michał Górny
