After I "emerge -u world" everything seems fine, execpt it says in bright yellow print "IMPORTANT: 1 config file in /etc needs updating. Ok, not a problem right?...not so much. When I ran the "find /ect -iname '._cfg???_*' " command it states that /etc/._cfg0000_make.conf is the culprit, but gives no instructions on how to update it? How do I update this config file...or does it really need to be updated. Thanks
Run 'etc-update' cos /etc might be not the only path which contains files to be updated.
How to update: manually ;))
You can use 'etc-update' or do that stuff on your own, which is the method I prefer (Editing two files with 'vim -d $file 1 $file2' and adjusting the relevant parts or so).

This is a question, only you may be able to answer ;)
When /etc/make.conf contains non-default USE-flags it is always a good idea to copy your USE-flags from the 'old' /etc/make.conf to the new one. I think this is the case with most of us.
Generally:
do NOT simply copy the new config files over the new ones. Always have a close look at your config-files before overwriting them, cos the new ones are almost default-configs. YMMV.
