try emerge info
to see what the end result of all the files. Also remember you have stackable (is that the name? its late) profiles. your profile is in /u/p/p/default.linux/x86/2005.0 but note the "parent" file in there, this contains a single entry: ".." - this means that everything in the directory above is also part of the profile. And guess what, so does the dir above have a parent file. And so on. so the make.defaults files in each of the included directories may add something to the profile. emerge info is a far easier way of seeing the end result!
