14 Can you explain how exactly you set UNIXMODE? For understanding, what
15 OS/libc is this, and what is the Portage version you use?
16
17 Do I understand correctly if I say that you set UNIXMODE in your
18 environment, call portage and that you find that the
19 compilation/installation doesn't seem to have UNIXMODE set?
20
21 Wild idea, have you tried setting UNIXMODE in etc/make.conf?
