Could you please report if other id's in your PATH don't understand
-G. You can do "type -a id" to see all the available id's then use the
full path to check for -G compatibility. The reason here is because I
would like to know if portage is getting confused with which id it is
using.

To be honest. I would be very surprised if a modern Ubuntu distro
didn't support -G.
