Hello!
In the mean time I have sent the attached patch to people involved with
building Gentoo stages. Before further taking action on/with that patch
I am waiting for their response.
I am now posting it here in order to let you know about this change in
status and to give potentially interested parties a chance to join with
review.
Best,
Sebastian
