Remove 2020-03-09-opencl-abi_x86_32-phaseout Turns out the dependency tree is too convoluted to simply remove 32-bit support for OpenCL from the tree, and the proposed new approach in which virtual/opencl only provides header files and libraries means that OpenCL *will* effectively be supported (both ICD loaders currently in the tree support 32-bit mode) even if there are no actual runtimes left to talk to the hardware. No need to issue a correction because owing to Bug #716340, the news item in question has not in fact made it to the users yet.

The -reason for this is that most modern OpenCL providers currently available -from Gentoo only support the 64-bit ABI anyway. Therefore, we intend -to initially mask: - - virtual/opencl in x86 profiles, - - USE=abi_x86_32 for virtual/opencl in all profiles, and - - USE=opencl in x86 profiles. -and follow up with removal of multilib support and x86 keywords from -virtual/opencl. - -Note that this change will only affect the virtual package, i.e. OpenCL -providers which do support ABI_X86_32 will continue to advertise this -capability. Users of such providers who wish to retain 32-bit OpenCL -support are advised to add virtual/opencl to package.provided; see -portage(5) for details.
