Subject: multilib.eclass: get_exeext for mingw/cygwin exe suffix, #588330
X-Git-Url: http://git.tremily.us/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9f670e5d23d09556e3b52916c896e2ea32508981;p=gentoo.git

multilib.eclass: get_exeext for mingw/cygwin exe suffix, #588330

Add a get_exeext function that can be used to obtain executable program
suffix specific to the platform, in line with get_libname and
get_modname. It is necessary to correctly reference built programs on
non-standard platforms where executables use some suffix (like .exe).
