1 I have found a script called emwrap.sh The forum thread attached to that
2 script makes it clear it is important to compile the few core TC files twice
3 before emerge -e system. Then do that twice. Then emerce -e world. Wow.
4 The script is supposed to shorten the overall time, by not recompiling TC
5 and system when compiling the rest of the world. It seems logical.

7 I also found some inconsistencies in my USE flags, so it's back to square
8 one. I hope this works. (I am trying the script).

10 Thank you very much.
