I've bitten by this too... the problem is that portage does not follow a
particular order when rebuilding subslot deps, so when upgrading
dev-libs/libffi (in this case from 0/7 to 0/8) it can schedule lots of other
packages between when the new libffi is installed and when python is rebuilt.

Consider using reiserfs for /usr/portage. No real performance advantage
over ext[234], but works well with lots of small files and there's no

I am not talking specifically about PIC/non-PIC code here. PIC is
relevant because when you're doing dynamic loading you generally cannot

LINGUAS is strictly portage-specific. It's used to control the
compile-time inclusion of languages and/or locales for packages which
