[RFC]possible improvements to --with-sysroot

The following suggestion is based on my understanding of
--with-sysroot, if there were any error, please correct me.
To my understanding, currently if cross-compile tool chain (including
gcc) is configured with --with-sysroot when installing them, then when
cross compiling, ld will look for libraries in $SYSROOT/usr/lib and
$SYSROOT/usr/local/lib.
Wouldn't it be great that we go one step further that we let ld look
for libraries in the dir listed in $SYSROOT/etc/ld.so.conf, if this
file ever exits? Of course for each entry in $SYSROOT/etc/ld.so.conf,
we prefix $SYSROOT to it.
Comments are welcomed.
Thanks!

portage-2.2 preserve-libs FEATURES explained

Maybe I am not the right person to write about it. But I felt the necessity to write about it. So I will just write something about preserve-libs, leaving other FEATURES to more competent people. Portage-2.2 has already entered unstable tree. Many people has started using it. It has many new features, like preserve-libs, sets, license filter and so on. Please check README and RELEASE-NOTES for a complete list. I will only talk about preserve-libs. To understand why we need it, we have to know some background information. First of all, applications are not built from scratch. Any non trivial apps use lot of libraries. In GNU/Linux, most of them are shared libraries, i.e. .so files. You can use `ldd /usr/bin/mplayer` to check what shared libraries an app has been linked to, replace mplayer to whatever program you'd like to check. Shared libraries have versions. E.g. /usr/lib/libavformat.so.51, here 51 denotes its version. After upgrading, the version number may change. E.g. /usr/lib/...
