Heh. I haven't had need of that script in years. I only needed it then because *something* was causing my system to crap its pants midway through emerges, and rebuilding an entire Gentoo system to narrow down why was...time- consuming. I currently have exactly one Gentoo install going--my workstation. And it's been ongoing-stable for something like three years, now. For a while, I didn't have any Gentoo systems, as I didn't have time to stand up a personal system to play with; I'd just gotten married, bought a house, now have two kids named after programming languages... As for that script, it turned out that having -gddb3 in CFLAGs breaks glibc. Have a broken glibc get built, installed--and *nothing* that spawns afterward can run. Hard to fix if you don't know why it's breaking. It was a known bug, but not documented anywhere at the time. Thankfully, I notice it's currently documented in the Gentoo Wiki...
