Hi gentoo-users,

I thought I would set FEATURES=keeptemp in make.conf so I would have
build logs around for reference.  This causes problems with Haskell
packages, which fail during the second build after setting this,
because the build's temp/ hasn't been cleaned from the previous build:

Am I wrong in expecting ${T} to be wiped at the start of a build,
regardless of the package, so that this isn't a problem?  I'm not sure
why you'd want old temp/ state to carry forward to the next build.
