[...]I, too, was annoyed about this, but see the following, in particular the bug referenced in both commits (using the gitweb interface is a good way of figuring out changes like this, I think): https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=0ffbd5cf3af3ea2fc4c568080c254b04b3e1334c https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=5ba50d0df9b3431ff4c9178d6d7f86db56cb648f https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=596426 HTH -- Marc Joliet -- "People who think they know everything really annoy those of us who know we don't" - Bjarne Stroustrup
