Hi all. Just a quick reminder that you can only rely on static things in most top-level variables in ebuilds. See http://devmanual.gentoo.org/general-concepts/portage-cache/index.html for details.
For a "real world" example on how to break the cache see http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo-x86/media-tv/xmltv/ (every version <= 0.5.39 relies on XMLTV_OPTS from the environment). The issue is fixed in newer versions and there should already be a bug to stable those newer versions and get rid of the broken versions.
