So remove /et/revdep-rebuild/ from CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK. if you don't want this.
It appears as though the /etc/env.d/99gentoolkit-env is also being overwritten during the emerge. Is there somewhere else that also needs to be change to protect that file as well? Could you give me a little more information on how the solution provided will protect the file if the place that says whether or not to protect the file is also overwritten? TIA! Dave
Of course it is, see man make.conf (CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK)
