I just want to throw in my thoughts. |

Can we have separate variables for the following? |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
* Build system portage data |
| 19 |
- portage overlay |
| 20 |
- edb |
| 21 |
- make.conf |
| 22 |
* Build system root |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
* Host system portage data |
| 25 |
- portage overlay |
| 26 |
- edb |
| 27 |
- make.conf |
| 28 |
* Host system root |
| 29 |

Ultimately it should be possible to, with a single installation of |
| 31 |
portage, maintain several systems that lacks a compiler, libraries and |
| 32 |
portage. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Does the separation of depend and rdepend support a gcc-less |
| 35 |
installation? |
