* From: Richard Wackerbarth <rkw@dataplex.net>
* I have to agree that the problem is real.
* However, let me point out that a "one identifier" solution is
* very short sided.
sighted :>
* There are two distinct environments to be considered.
* The HOST environment and the TARGET environment.
* For convience, we should also consider a TOOLSET
* environment which is a cross between the two.
(Rolling my eyes.)
This issue has nothing to do with hosts and targets. The ports tree
has never supported building ports on a system with a version other
than the one that is going to run it. (And we don't intend to start
doing it any time soon either, sorry. ;)
