Hi all, first of all I'm new to the forum, so I hope to be posting in the right section and not asking something already answered many times. :)

Since Chrome 31, PNacl (Portable Native Client) was deemed stable by Google. I would like to test it, but current stable Chromium ebuild, AFAIK, disables both NaCl and PNaCl unconditionally:

Code:

        # Disable nacl, we can't build without pnacl (http://crbug.com/269560).
        myconf+=" -Ddisable_nacl=1"

        # Disable glibc Native Client toolchain, we don't need it (bug #417019).
        # myconf+=" -Ddisable_glibc=1"

        # TODO: also build with pnacl
        # myconf+=" -Ddisable_pnacl=1"


Is there some security concern or technical reason behind this choice? Maybe NaCl/PNaCl engine could be made dependant by a USE flag?

Thank you in advance for you answer.
