Pardon me, but in my opinion if you're asking this kind of questions, porting the Gentoo build system (or even any non-trivial application without upstream support) to a different and basically unsupported environment is way beyond what you can manage with your current level of technical expertise. In other words, this is not the kind of thing you can solve by iteratively trying to build, look at what breaks and doing a point fix. I am not saying it can't be done, but porting is hard and requires an in-depth knowledge of the source and the target environment, plus a lot of development experience in both. You should begin with that, instead of diving head-first into what is all but a simple task. just my €0.02, andrea
