Could you please "ls -al ~/Funtoo/" ?
 
Btw, the cats before the greps are redundant, and why don't you just cp the other ones?

Recently my newer machines have UEFI bios and I have started using refind as the bootloader/manager instead of grub or lilo and the like .  I really like it!  Its simple and flexible and highly automated and aesthetically pleasing.  I have one machine with apparently broken bios that I can't get uefi boot to work so that one has grub2.  
 
My question is with respect to boot-update.  any thought about supporting uefi/refind with boot-update? In the part where boot.conf says "generate grub" it could say "generate refind" optionally and then the output would be the refind.conf in /boot.
 
Right now I don't really use boot-update, I just edit grub.cfg directly on my one machine with broken uefi since it seems like a layer of abstraction that doesn't buy me anything at all (I have no need for grub-legacy) and seems directly in competition with grub-mkconfig (itself a layer I am dubious about).  But, if a single tool like boot-update could generate boot loader configs for either my uefi (refind) or non-uefi (grub2) systems then its less syntax I have to learn to cover both bases - an abstraction that does give me something.  
 
Anyway even if refind isn't in the cards for boot-update I am curious if anyone else in funtoo land uses it for uefi boot.  I found no info about it anywhere except arch forums and the refind site itself, and its not in portage.
 
 

I think I followed this guide when I made the switch:

Maybe there were also some threads in the Gentoo forums, I don't remember.

Yes, if I understand correctly the emul-linux-x86-* packages were just sets of precompiled x86 libraries. Now we are telling portage to compile the x86 version for those libraries with the abi_x86_32 USE flag. It's the same thing but done in a cleaner, more flexible, more consistent way.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, my knowledge here is flaky.

Hi --->yoalli<---, I had the same problem, and I solved it remerging x11-libs/cairo with USE=xcb.
