Make a sed link / copy / script / whatever in an alternative location, and put |
| 14 |
it in the portage path before /bin. That should solve all these kinds of |
| 15 |
problems. In general it might make sense to have such a directory for |
| 16 |
portage. Another candidate would be the strip binary which might be called by |
| 17 |
certain makefiles instead of being portage controlled. |
