The *last* eclass inherited that exports a particular function (via EXPORT_FUNCTIONS) is the one that prevails, not the *first*. Therefore, if it is expected that multilib-minimal.eclass's versions will be used, it should be nearer the end of the inherit line, not the beginning. - -- Jonathan Callen -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJSqSBrAAoJELHSF2kinlg4JcgP/2KKiXTcRkBUQmT0A5X0NLJV TqthtEKHlQhAuc9VjVtMj+h1UhAuDxsK4tasUBlXG6b3ab3o5drXVyD+rZWJHr8N FaqWuwSsbnIxp461DNVbQk5vhHAHY9oxFxT1rV/wjgFIK0d6yZxSBBDWWtWLbOba ev/FRw5LqnK8JkX/YaGCo6HYNSxaSGTRdeuSlndfF5dLYXRFO5JIR98S6YtsZWFY jXjKNcYQNVX/HAeU42LCMffgODSiCmLQPE9D5vhP9hOD9tLlBe6WZLt8iKKaBOug rBvRaQq9lL7obivYohMqR+7MCeCcvlDc6rMu1ZEdBMEfN39lzmTiAp9wXlYpbB7Q pM1YI97bqXGwS8lpBL6AIkS5Uep/0q1UD8bDw67PMtOrCh5Oi/SniCY8pdZCqpms bFYp+MgtYtvopI+vtn1P7/P4LBv9LspReQ7lVV4ukKSkuqx7L4B3Az3fiHcTV8ce XCzbSkR4ZOwvAypXtMRhmfcpIchVegqLwUIZHVRkUH9Qwd+o4dvpmBIxkUVdqFJD OINNplQ1/WqxJdonkFVzWUAO1jE67M91uf3zcimB63ioNKwSQGalVGQt3Rp1RfCd eJgsgkmtvI8fqhnkZTO+i70Xl89+JXhz+R4tfMewTId4wch+w3EiX3PKJUbF9rWK P6tuUW0eRNp6t7SU2ZdY =WMyy -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
