8 Should've been more verbose. It's the patch for bootstrap that passes
9 catalyst's options to EMERGE (passing EMERGE_OPTS to bootstrap.sh). The
10 primary issue is so options like pkgcache have an effect in the middle
11 of building a stage2, cause bumping into an error in the middle of a
12 stage2 and restarting on slow machines is not fun :)

14 I attached the patch, but drobbins mentioned there was some possible
15 theoretical issue where it would conflict with the fetch option to
16 bootstrap, but I've looked at it and I don't necessarily see what the
17 possible problem could be. Maybe someone has an idea.
