This is a really bad surprise, since setenv() is POSIX. Current eix svn trunk (>=0.15.8) attempts an inconvenient workaround.
Does the current eix svn trunk work for you? (The workaround depends on "extern char **environ" being available and uses execle() instead of execl() so that a modified PORTDIR_OVERLAY can be passed to portage for cache method "ebuild" / "parse|ebuild".) Also a larger part of the build system was changed, e.g. now AC_GNU_SOURCE is used which enables also extensions of other systems: This might be a further source of trouble on some prefix systems but also might avoid some on others... If you find no problems, I will release the trunk as eix-0.16.0...
I suppose that I can close this bug since eix-0.16.0 is released and in the tree.
