11 First, I think the pycrypto crap is due to not having python from
12 portage installed. I think I did that first.
13
14 Second, I think it's fairly important to get both GCC and binutils built
15 in the prefix, because they control the behaviour of where to find files
16 and stuff. I know binutils isn't working fully correct at the moment,
17 but it allowed me to come quite far. I just recall that I priorised on
18 these things, because getting a build environment that is portage
19 controlled, makes the assumptions of the tree come true.

21 Third, the first days toying with my Fedora install was just hacking
22 around, cheating with symlinks and stuff, and getting as much of the
23 symlinks replaced by portage versions. Some things suddently started to
24 work after I for instance installed gawk in my prefix. (Symlink wasn't
25 good enough?!? No idea on that.)

28 So concluding, I guess I should spend some time in doing it from scratch
29 again, and keeping a much better log around of the steps I took. Maybe
30 exg's bootstrap scripts can help speeding that up.
