−* Teach Portage about cross-compiling dependencies so it can bootstrap on its own. I think this could also do away with crossdev (which reportedly isn't working on Funtoo anyway) and would do away with special bootstrap scripts. As an example, compiling gcc with CHOST=i686-pc-linux-gnu, CBUILD=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, and ROOT=/x86_64-root should look in the package database on ${ROOT} for an appropriate binutils installation. If that is lacking, even if binutils is installed on the host, it will pull in binutils and cross-compile it appropriately for the other root.+
−* Teach Portage how to merge in all reverse dependencies of a package. That should address preserved-rebuild as well as revdep-rebuild types of issues.+
−* Teach Portage the types of CFLAGS that change ABI so it can rebuild system appropriately if an ABI-changing CFLAG is desired.+
−* Teach Portage about some sort of src_profile target so that compiler profiling can be used to make more intelligent optimization decisions.+
