8 Or don't install them at all. Put all the toolchain packages
9 in /etc/portage/profile/package.provided or create a custom profile
10 without a toolchain in @system. Then build the packages on another
11 computer. If this is a production server, you'd want to test things
12 before installing on the live server, so build everything on the test
13 box and install on the server with emerge -K.
