According to the handbook (Codelisting 1.10), emerge --oneshot gawk should be done after grep and before patch. Doing so results in an failed emerge (Failed Patch: gawk-3.1.6-mint.patch), when portage tries to apply the mint-patch. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge --oneshot gawk 2.Emerge fails when trying to apply the mint-patch. Actual Results: Emerge fails. Expected Results: Emerge should not fail. Emerging _patch_ before gawk seems to solve the problem, it runs flawlessly afterwards (Although bootstrapped _patch_ was available at $EPREFIX/tmp/usr/bin/patch). Please update the doc accordingly or add a note at that specific section. Thanks. ;)
Moving patch before gawk is ok with me. What platform are you bootstrapping on?

I applied your order patch, thanks!
