app-editor/vscode-1.79.2: bad export type for tree_sitter_tsx_external_scanner_create: undefined

[nethershaw]

I have not been able to find a combination of vscode ebuilds from this overlay and electron versions that will allow vscode to successfully build since app-editors/vscode-1.77.3 with dev-util/electron-20.3.12-r1. All vscode ebuilds since then bail with a similar error:

For your reference:

tree-sitter/tree-sitter#2338

I'm tired of wasting time struggling with Microsoft, so the temporary solution is here and here.

I'll keep your issue open for some time for better visibility.

Since Microsoft does not care for this failure I've temporarily added temp-fix USE flag for ease of building.
