After installing the Xilinx (http://www.xilinx.com) Web-Pack (a free Programmable Logic Development Environment from worlds FPGA leader, which is unfortunately not included in Gentoo), I had strange Problems with emerging some Packages (Latest problem: qt-4.1.4). Always the Path to mkspecs was not correctly. The last few emerges I solved this problem by simply editing the ebuild and setting the PLATFORM manually to "linux-g++" (instead of lin as it was while encountering this error). Now, after tracing back the reason, why this is happening, I found that /etc/env.d/99Webpack was the source of this setting. Because there is no other env.d-file on my system that uses this variable, the value of this should be generated in the ebuild itself, that it won't be hurt by non-Gentoo packages. The error can be traced back by setting PLATFORM="lin" in a temporary file in env.d or setting it by export (?)
not quite sure what this is about, but doesn't seem to be portage related.
No idea what installs /etc/env.d/99Webpack...

Well, in that case I fail to see why are you filing a bug; it's not in the tree at all.

But the qt-Installation reacts on it, if it is set. This is a strange behavior in my eyes. And I think, the Xilinx-WebPack is used by many people in the near future. (When it get's available in Gentoo)
