There are several ebuilds that depend on their path containing elements like
/usr/X11R6/bin and others. Unfortunately /etc/profile unsets the ROOTPATH
variable. This variable is used by portage to determine the PATH inside ebuilds.

I found it is actually a portage bug as that is supposed to source profile.env itself
