I did say "might not" and Samuel seemed happy to fix at least some of
them so we might as take those fixes.

I think these are all the ones which Samuel indicated were simply not
supported by mini-os. We must not end up linking these files or else
there would be a link time error.

Hrm. I would rather hope that bugs would be reported to the Gentoo
maintainer who would take responsiblity with the upstream relationship
rather than pushing it onto the end users who may not be in a position
to make a good report about an issue seen with an ebuild.

Or maybe I misunderstand how Gentoo QA is structured and/or where/who
this suggestion is actually reported to.

Ian.
