+DESCRIPTION="Based on the ${ECLASS} eclass"
+
+# This function generate linker scripts in /usr/lib for dynamic
+# libs in /lib.  This is to fix linking problems when you have
+# the .so in /lib, and the .a in /usr/lib.  What happens is that
+# in some cases when linking dynamic, the .a in /usr/lib is used
+# instead of the .so in /lib due to gcc/libtool tweaking ld's
+# library search path.  This cause many builds to fail.
+# See bug #4411 for more info.
+#
+# To use, simply call:
+#
+#   gen_usr_ldscript libfoo.so
+#
+# Note that you should in general use the unversioned name of
+# the library, as ldconfig should usually update it correctly
+# to point to the latest version of the library present.
