I'd like to suggest at this point that we drop this thread. Because you
and I both understand the compile process well, but we seemed to have
gotten the wires crossed a few posts back and are talking about slightly
different scenarios.

You are right in saying that in this case, emerge -e system is
redundant, but your average gentoo-newbie is in no state to understand
why, or even care :-)

Besides, I really need to get going on figuring out why Sybase ASE won't
install here and play nicely with php5....
