Where possible I use etc-update and let it do the
replace/merge as it avoids me making mistakes. However,
sometimes you may have to do it manually.

As I remember from your original post the culprit was
/etc/make.conf -
probably not the best move to just overwrite it.
make.conf is the
central portage configuration file - you'll need to
reset your USE
variables (try 'emerge ufed'), mirrors (try 'emerge
mirrorselect'),
C/XXFLAGS, CHOST, and all sorts of nifty stuff.
In the future, you might look at the diff merge option
(#3) - it will
let you go through line by line and create a new file.
Is there a reason why etc-update doesn't use colors in
the output, just like
emerge? This could make it much more easy to merge files.
