16 I thought the log bits made it obvious, the bootstrap-prefix.sh just
17 started, its not using an ebuild, it just downloaded zlib, and built it,
18 then downloaded python-2.7.2-patched, and while building it the (trivial
19 to fix) error stops everything.

21 I just want to know if there is a procedure to not start from the
22 beginning. The "patch" I want to do is to python-2.7.2-patched,
23 specifically Python-2.7.2/Modules/_io/_iomodule.c:172 which shouldn't
24 re-declare anything.
