Discussed here: https://bugs.gentoo.org/731666 and here: https://bugs.gentoo.org/696840 Summarised, this dependency is triggered by CONFIG_IKHEADERS, which has been configured too obscure to pull in cpio for everyone (hence the WONTFIX status for the latter bug report). -- Ashley Dixon suugaku.co.uk 2A9A 4117 DA96 D18A 8A7B B0D2 A30E BF25 F290 A8AA
