I don't like this idea. If I remember correctly, in order to build f77,
java or objc
the build system need to bootstrap at least the C compiler. Compiling
those packages
separately it's a waste of time.
~ I like the gentoo way of packaging software. I think it is better to
release a package
with the same contents of the sources provided by the author. Optional
software
can be selected with USE flags.
~ Eventually, if the problem arises in other packages, it could be
possible to make
a per-ebuild "use" flag, perhaps with useflag syntax (gcc-xxx), or
another system.
