make.profile is a symlink to your profile, so you shouldn't edit
anything in there. It is managed by 'eselect profile' and i guess that
/etc/make.profile is the old location, like with make.conf which used to
be in /etc but is now in /etc/portage.
If you want to manually override anything in your profile that is not
covered by the other files in /etc/portage, e.g. unmask useflags, then
you use /etc/portage/profile. Everything there has higher precedence
than things in make.profile.
