For minimal pain, don't  unmask the ~ ( testing ) versions of things during
stage 1. You'll find if you do you'll find a fun gcc cyclic dependency :)  (
that is, don't set  ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=  to "~amd64" or "~x86" leave them at
"amd64" or "x86" )

Once you get to stage 3 of the build /then/ you /might/ want to switch on
that, but don't do it earlier.
