11 I don't really see what it has to do with ebuild devs... We're talking about
12 the user's environment leaking into the portage build environment, no?
13 Environment vars used by ebuilds can/should be set by users in a portage
14 configuration file rather than being added to the environment. The only
15 issue i see here is user customizations - fex, a hypothetical colorgcc that
16 gets its config info from the env.
