21 Hm, when editing /etc/make.conf, did you change the CHOST setting? That
22 could cause such behaviour... I think that may be amongst the reasons
23 why /etc/make.conf.example reads like:
24
25 ---snip---
26 # Host Setting
27 # ============
28 #
29 # DO NOT CHANGE THIS SETTING UNLESS YOU ARE USING STAGE1!
30 ---snip---
31
32 ...I guess you aren't using a stage1?

35 As a side note: When building a minimal system, using
36 USE=-*
37 in /etc/make.conf should be considered. You can then fine tune each and
38 every package in /etc/portage/package.use. That's quite like my setup,
39 my global USE is set to "-* nptl ssl nls pam". All the other stuff is
40 set per package. I have one build host machine that distributes the
41 binary packages and portage tree snapshots to my other computers.
