I'm ambivalent about the data/ subdirectories rather than just putting
the files directly in the sysdeps/ dir. I don't really see the need for
the subdirectory.
More importantly, I don't think the model should be that you choose a
single data directory for your configuration and use that. Rather, each
abilist file should be found independently in the first sysdeps dir that
has it. That way things that don't differ, such as all the empty
libnss_*.abilist files, can be in sysdeps/generic. The easy way to do
this is:
vpath %.abilist $(+sysdep_dirs)
Thanks,
Roland
