This is the exact sequence that generates the problem:

mkdir build
cd build
tar jxpf ../stage2-i686-20040218.tar.bz2 # from 2004.0

# Update the stage 2 build to an up-to-date stage 3
chroot . sh -c "
export CONFIG_PROTECT='-*'
emerge sync
emerge -gb system # doesn't like update at this stage
emerge -bu --deep world # should have 'g' but emerge bug"

The first time through, the pre-compiled packages server is empty. I 
then copy the built packages to the server, wipe the test build, and 
start it again from scratch. This is why it's a bit confusing to see 
any difference at all.

I'd like to be able to put the 'g' in the last command, but it 
generates different results.

Yes, the above is essentially repeating what catalyst does, but the 
above script is going to continue into customising for internal 
deployment (eg, where catalyst leaves off).

The avenue I'm investigating is a combination of repeatable build 
scripts and radmind for administrating machines, then I'm intending to 
write my own radmind/rsync tool to fill in the gaps.

All interesting stuff. :)
