11 I think we talk about different things here.

13 "prefix" is not a "USERLAND". In Prefix, USERLAND=GNU. Neither do I
14 think a something_prefix (use-expanded "SOMETHING") is a useful
15 approach. You're either using Prefix, or you don't. Hence,
16 "use prefix". Jeremy's question was about how to effectuate that, and
17 we believe simply adding "prefix" to use.mask (and use.desc) in
18 gentoo-x86 is the solution.
