When a package comes up as masked in an eix search, they are usually
found in /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask, but if a particular
masked package is not listed there... where else would it be.
I see libtool is masked above version 1.5.26-r1, but is not in
/usr/portage/profiles/package.mask...
grep libtool /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask
<nothing>
Where else to look?
Even this: search
find /usr/portage/ -name 'package.mask' -exec grep libtool {} \;
# Some weird libtool breakage on Solaris and Darwin
