-This package contains .ph files that are mostly generated by the perl h2ph
-command by inspecting existing .h files on your system.
-
-Due to the nature of these files, they are likely to be incomplete, and many
-of them may not even load in Perl, and many things that rely on C intrinsics
-like "sizeof" or macro expansion may be very broken.
-
-It is strongly recommended you build this package with:
-
- USE="debug sizeof-warning"
-
-As this will give better context when things break, and will at least notify
-you when some constant relies on a missing "sizeof" entry ( and where ).
-
-Missing "sizeof" entries and broken constants need a lot of love, so please
-file bugs at https://github.com/gentoo-perl/perl-headers/issues ( or on
-gentoo bugzilla ) if you find anything that you know how to fix.
-
-However, the logic is kinda broken in a lot of places, and there's not a lot
-that can be done about it as we're reliant on the vernerable quality of h2ph,
-and this package is provided mostly as a kindness to people who need it, and
-were already relying on the equivalent logic that we shipped with perl itself
-prior to 5.24 ( where it was horribly broken and nobody really noticed )
