Portage adds PREROOTPATH, ROOTPATH and a standard set of |
15 |
/usr/{local/,}{s,}bin to PATH in _doebuild_path. That means if you add |
16 |
something like /usr/bin/native-toolchain to PATH only, users will get |
17 |
gcc, ld, etc., while root and Portage will lack these. One can wonder |
18 |
if root should have direct access to compilers, but it's easy enough to |
19 |
add the compilers to PATH if really necessary. |

I guess what I'm trying to say is: you can hide effect of the setup for |
22 |
users if you'd like. That is, after we had buildbots point out the bulk |
23 |
of packages that are wrong of course. |
