If anything, I'll install a VM to run it in. |

I *ALWAYS* have -j1 in /etc/make.conf. Anyways, it turned out to be |
| 13 |
something completely different. Whilst doing additional Google |
| 14 |
searching, I stumbled across "Foolproof Gentoo World Update Build Order" |
| 15 |
at http://foxpa.ws/tag/package-keywords/ and it was proof against this |
| 16 |
fool, too <G>. My problem was that the Gentoo install snapshot put in |
| 17 |
gcc-4.3.4, and "emerge --update world" pulled in gcc-4.4.3-r2. So far, |
| 18 |
so good. But after the first build, I forgot to gcc-config over to |
| 19 |
4.4.3-r2 ... dohhhhhhh. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Anyhow, after switching over, rebuilding gcc-4.4.3-r2, exiting, |
| 22 |
logging back in, unmerging gcc-4.3.4, and rebuilding glibc, I |
| 23 |
successfully emerged system and world. I'm now emerging xorg-x11. |

Why on earth will xorg-x11 *NOT* build if I mask out various arabic, |
| 27 |
cyrillic, ethiopic, and jis fonts? My PC is *NOT* intended to be a |
| 28 |
kiosk machine at UN headquarters fer-cryin-out-loud. |
