equery did show a herd of wrong mtimes. Which I'm guessing is
probably normal but it also shows MAKEDEV missing. So I re-emerged
it. Following re-emerge, equery now shows:
root # equery check baselayout 2>&1|tee file2
!!! /etc/rc.conf has incorrect md5sum
!!! /etc/gentoo-release has wrong mtime (is 1135082266, should be
1135082250)
!!! /etc/conf.d/hostname has incorrect md5sum
!!! /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 has incorrect md5sum
!!! /etc/conf.d/clock has incorrect md5sum
!!! /etc/conf.d/domainname has incorrect md5sum
sys-apps/baselayout-1.12.0_pre11-r3:

However, it didn't help the init script problem a bit. I still see
the long list of stuff and a failure trying to start stuff with:
/etc/init.d/NAME start

Bingo...! It was not a symlink and was massively different. Checking
backups from previous running system (before recent full reinstall) I
see net.eth0 and net.eth1 both symlinked to net.lo. So renamed the
current net.eth1 and symlinked a net.eth1 to net.lo.
Starting services now works as expected.
Thank you Mr. Fish, I'd probably never have figured this out from
looking at the init process or the scripts.
