coalms,

The only public description I know of appeared in The Gentoo Weekly Newsletter a long time ago.
So long ago, it may have been the Monthly Newsletter.

I don't have any contact details.

Essenially, the orgs I know of do the same thing as described in the newsletter.

coalms,

I need to do a little testing but I think that's what the emerge -k and buildpkg-multi-instance takes care of.
The output is the binhost. Not the chroot itself, which can be in a mess.
The next build will do whatever it needs to do.

The -k uses existing binaries, so you don't build the ...

coalms,

Let me throw a rock in the pool. It's not a complete solution, at least, I don't think it is.
Suppose, on the build host, /etc/portage and /var/lib/portage/world are symbolic links.
Further the are links to /etc/portage_systemN and /var/lib/portage/world_systemN where N goes from 1..sysy ...

I wonder whether you could approach this from a slightly different direction. Please see my post here: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1169109.html , and the subsequent thread. Maybe you can use this approach to define your system specifications?

Unfortunately not, I am using a semi-custom ...

Solving "undefined/unresolved stat64/lstat64"

I was one of the ones scouring bugzilla for the solution being unable to emerge a few packages with the stat64/lstat64 error, figured after a while that it was probably a musl error rather then gcc error so I scoured and got some sources

What is the point of this? If you want the shell to go away, just exec "$@" . Using eval is usually wrong. Using CMD && exit || exit looks unnecessarily complex. If you do not want to exec , you could use ; exit instead of the && || combination.
That was a mistake I wrote this from memory, here is ...

Honestly, do you prefer having programs like sudo and doas in your "daily driver"? Or you you just avoid the security escalation vulnerability of having a program such at this and just run tty1 root tmux/screen? If tty then have you though about hardening your keyboard and xorg so programs cannot ...
