10 Back then, portage complained. It's been awhile ago and I didn't write
11 it down, but I seem to remember something about double inclusion.
12 However, it's quite possible that was my diagnosis, not portage's
13 complaint. I just returned to /etc/make.conf, because with both that
14 and /etc/portage/make.conf portage had problems, and with /etc/portage/
15 make.conf only, something else didn't work.

17 But as I said that was way back when I first read about it, probably in
18 the changelog on my first update after it hit a release, so I'd guess
19 it's looonngg fixed by now. Now that you've confirmed it works for you
20 now, I'll play around with things a bit and file bugs if I see 'em.

22 As always, thanks. =:^)

24 (Now back to that kernel 3.6-git bug I just finished bisecting and was
25 about to file upstream... workqueue merge, commit 63d95a91, crashing in
26 schedule/core.c on line 1654, FWIW.)
