That worked great! Thanks for the detailed instructions, they worked first time, flawlessly. This has inspired me to try an --empty-tree which may take a couple of days on my Core i5 with 1800+ packages. I'm sure something will break and I'll be back. ;)

Latest problem is net-voip/telepathy-gabble-0.18.4 and net-voip/telepathy-salute-0.8.1-r1 which are pulled in by net-in/telepathy-connection-managers-2-r2 I suspect openssl 1.1+ is messing them up, or some Apple defines that are messing up the structures. Anyone else running into this?

OK, of course there's a package.mask as well. I can't delete the post, but if an admin wants to that's fine.

Also, how do you block a download? I'm aware of package.unmask, is there a package.mask as well?

I'm doing an emerge and it trying / failing to download dev-util/gn-63.0.3239.70 which is refused because of file size mismatch. I don't know what this is, but the gentoo page has a version 0.1463 : https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/dev-util/gn Can someone explain where this is coming from? Is this some kind of hack?

That fixed it up. Took a while to compile - like 4 hours or something. Thanks for that, I was getting nowhere.

message is "die 'Aborting due to serious QA concern with RUNPATH/RPATH" Has anyone run into this and solved it?

Taking Python3.4 and Python3.5 out of PYTHON_TARGETS in make.conf seems to be work. Now I'm having trouble with nodejs.

So I'm trying to rebuild everything using --emptytree @world and it's failing on python3_4 Preserved libs list comes up, but I don't know what it's for - heres the list tho, if it helps: dev-libs/ice-64.2, dev-libs/libevent-2.1.8, dev-libs/openssl-1.1.1b-r2, net-libs/hhtp-parser-2.9.2 What can I do?

How about eselect kernel show
