This is intended to prevent packages from automatically switching to 64-bit time_t on 32-bit ABIs. Making this switch in an uncontrolled manner will lead to inconsistent library ABIs that fail at runtime.
At a later time, we will introduce new profiles to enable 64-bit time_t distro-wide. https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Toolchain/time64_migration Bug: https://bugs.gentoo.org/828001 Signed-off-by: Mike Gilbert <flop...@gentoo.org> --- profiles/default/linux/make.defaults | 4 ++++ 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+) diff --git a/profiles/default/linux/make.defaults b/profiles/default/linux/make.defaults index 6ae7cf297cf..53ace7e229c 100644 --- a/profiles/default/linux/make.defaults +++ b/profiles/default/linux/make.defaults @@ -53,3 +53,7 @@ VIDEO_CARDS="dummy fbdev v4l" # Note that adding LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 ${LDFLAGS}" breaks dev-util/boost-build # because of whitespace.
