This package historically belongs to the gnustep herd, but ffcall support in gnustep has been deprecated for some time now in favor of libffi (in fact the USE-flag may go away soon)Also, I do not have the time to work on it, although it requires a bit of work: * switch to "new" upstream (recommending to grab CVS tarballs) at http://www.gnu.org/software/libffcall/ * a bunch of opened issues (parallel make/install, ldflags, execstacks, ...): https://bugs.gentoo.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=ffcall So if you are interested, please add yourself to metadata.xml (and remove gnustep herd) and start bug sqashing. As a bonus, you will still have a backup herd (common-lisp), thoug a real maintainer would be great Reverse RDEPEND for dev-libs/ffcall: dev-lang/gforth-0.7.0 dev-lisp/clisp-2.47-r1 dev-lisp/clisp-2.48-r1 dev-lisp/clisp-2.48-r2 gnustep-base/gnustep-base-1.20.1:!libffi gnustep-base/gnustep-base-1.24.0-r1:!libffi
libffi should be a full replacement and more widely adapted variant. isn't it time to let this simply fade away (lastrite)?
