[gentoo-catalyst] specifying global USE

[Jeff Davidson]

I'm working on my own set of stage tarballs since I want a few USE flags 
that differ from the default, namely:

nptl nptlonly userlocales -ipv6 -fortran -nls

However, it looks like glibc wasn't compiling with my flags, since it 
was working in a -linuxthreads directory instead of an -nptl 
directory.   So, two questions:

1) Why isn't the USE setting from my envscript not going through?

bash-2.05b# cat /etc/catalyst/catalyst.conf | grep envscript=
envscript="/root/livecd/catalyst-env.sh"

bash-2.05b# cat /root/livecd/catalyst-env.sh
export GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mirror.datapipe.net/gentoo"
export USE="nptl nptlonly userlocales -fortran -ipv6 -nls"

2) Just out of curiousity, does the portage_confdir setting work in the 
stage builds?  I understand I could do this, but for things like nptl, 
ipv6, and nls, there are so many packages with these USE flags that to 
go through and add a listing for each one manually seems like overkill 
to me.

Thanks,
