Thanks.. I have created the sym-links in $PKGDIR/sys-devel directory,
but now after running the "emerge" command, I am getting the following
error:-
------------------------------------------------------------------------
----
localhost sys-devel # emerge -K1 =sys-devel/binutils-2.18-r1.tbz2
Calculating dependencies -

!!! Binary package '=sys-devel/binutils-2.18-r1.tbz2' does not exist.
!!! Please ensure the tbz2 exists as specified.

The error message is quite explicit, All is not a recognised category,
you need to create a symlink to the package in $PKGDIR/sys-devel then do

emerge -K1 =sys-devel/binutils-2.18-r1
