[gentoo-user] Evironment variables breaking ebuilds

Hi, I've just noticed that one of the environment variables I (have to) have set causes troubles with an ebuild. In my case I have set the environment variable PLATFORM (for my user). If I now just su to root and then emerge mono the emerge will fail because mono also seems to make use of
