I feel like this is getting out of control.

There seems to be this overwhelming desire to keep applying hack after
hack to make increasingly obscure -- and fundamentally unsupportable
-- configurations work.

Brian mentioned that he talked to Zac and that there was something
that portage should be doing differently about binary packages. Let's
please investigate that a bit further before pursuing other
strategies. I have confidence that if Zac understands and knows about
the problem that he can fix portage.

Brian, Zac: do we have a bug filed? What's the status -- do we have a
good understanding of what's required?

Thanks,
Matt
