Hi, I'm not an expert in ebuilds' issues, but /usr/portage/distfiles (or whichever else one chooses for his/her own system) is availabe through the variable DISTDIR (or is it DISTFILES? can't remember which one exactly is and don't have gentoo available here). Hence, that "/usr/portage/distfiles/${A}" can be modified to "${DISDIR}/${A}", that is more readable and portable.
