Dale,
Thanks. My list seems considerable too small (and possibly
incorrect) vs yours. I suspect it should be identical. California,
only speak English.
CFLAGS="-march=k8 -O2 -pipe"

EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--with-bdeps y"

Looking above I don't have LANG or LC_ALL entries and the LINGUAS is
suspect. If I was to convert them to your settings do I then need to
rebuild any apps that use them?
I tried puting the emerge -epv world results into a file and greping
the file. Does this list look about right? It does contain portage and
k3b which are my most common offenders so I think I'm probably on the
right track.
Thanks!
