9 Ok, so it already exists, and points to something valid.

28 The bootstrap script should have create one, yes. It'll be empty, but
29 just for the fun of it, the script will make sure it exists. (Some
30 older versions of Portage actually got fatally injured if the file did
31 not exist.)

33 You can try to remove the make.profile symlink, and try again, such that
34 the script regenerates it, and maybe prefix-launcher is more happy.
