Hi,

Hmm, you dont have to add second "embedded_rootfs". And why are you using 
ebuild directly? I would type emerge --sync in my chroot and enjoy full blown 
Portage tree (and just type emerge baselayout-lite from anywhere from a 
system). Anyway, not important, maybe this is just the way you do.

Yes, this can be like that - from gentoo forum:

"You can either create a file /etc/portage/packages.keywords and put all your 
lines in there or you can create a directory /etc/portage/packages.keywords 
and create files like /etc/portage/packages.keywords/gentoolkit 
and /etc/portage/packages.keywords/gentoo-sources and put your lines into 
these files."

Use Portage configuration files:

echo "sys-apps/baselayout-lite **" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords

or if you got directory adjust it accordingly (I also prefer files).

Then your compilation should go fine. 

For additional information, you can change KEYWORDS in an ebuild and recreate 
ebuild digests using ebuild command, but this is rarely needed and you should 
really know what you are doing.
