I already had the  "NOCOLOR" environment variable set  (there was a typo
in my mail, not in my "make.conf" file :-),  but the Cmake and Gcc spec-
ific environment variables were not yet there.  Thankyou for this tip.

This assumes "/usr/local/bin" to precede "/usr/bin" in environment vari-
able "PATH".  Can I set this for Portage only in "make.conf"?

Alas,  this code snippet did not survive  mail transmission :-(.   Could
you please run

   perl -MMIME::Base64 -ne 'print encode_base64($_)' < /usr/local/bin/rustc

and post (or send me privately) the base64 encoded output?  Thankyou.

Sincerely,
  Rainer
