When in doubt, read the man page (make.conf(5)):

This file contains various variables that are used by Portage.
Portage will check
the currently-defined environment variables first for any settings. If
no environ‐

files. Both
/etc/make.conf and /etc/portage/make.conf are checked (if present),
and settings
from /etc/portage/make.conf will override settings from /etc/make.conf.

Thanks... my point was more that the news item didn't explain this -
also, this answers as to make.conf, but what about make.profile?
I just don't like being forced to assume, or 'test for myself', when it
could be made crystal clear in the news item/docs.
Also, would
~ cd /etc/portage
~ ln -s make.profile ../usr/portage/profiles/default/linux/amd64/13.0
Be the right way to create the make.profile symlink in the new location?
Not sure why the two preceeding dots are there in the current one in
/etc, but they are...

I don't... I was getting ready to change these, and was just asking the
question... ;)
