I'm clueless on EPREFIX but if you want to avoid compiling a package |
24 |
twice, would the -k option help? If you have portage set to save the |
25 |
binaries you compiled before, it would install from that instead of |
26 |
compiling things twice. |

Just thought I'd mention just in case it would help. |
