Not sure why it was enable by default.
*** Bug 330167 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
So it wasn't invalid after all.
Description of "build" USE flag is "!!internal use only!! DO NOT SET THIS FLAG YOURSELF!, used for creating build images and the first half of bootstrapping [make stage1]". stage3 tarballs contain dev-lang/python installed with USE="-build", so this bug is still invalid.
Sorry, but I do not agree. I was building stage3, having already built stages 1 & 2 and libxml2 was being built Before python. The timestamps of usr/bin/python2.6 in the stage 1 and stage 3 build directories match. So the python which was being used to build libxml2 during stage 3 was the one built in stage1. Here is the genlop -l output for the (failed) stage 3 build, which shows that python had not been built before catalyst aborted. using logfile /var/tmp/catalyst/tmp/hardened/stage3-pentium4-26072010/var/log/emerge.log * virtual/libintl Mon Jul 26 15:22:27 2010 >>> virtual/libintl-0 Mon Jul 26 15:22:52 2010 >>> sys-libs/zlib-1.2.3-r1 Mon Jul 26 15:23:02 2010 >>> sys-devel/gnuconfig-20100122 Mon Jul 26 15:23:24 2010 >>> app-misc/pax-utils-0.1.19 Mon Jul 26 15:23:32 2010 >>> virtual/libiconv-0 Mon Jul 26 15:27:56 2010 >>> dev-libs/gmp-4.3.2 Mon Jul 26 15:28:10 2010 >>> sys-devel/gcc-config-1.4.1 Mon Jul 26 15:28:52 2010 >>> dev-libs/expat-2.0.1-r3 Mon Jul 26 15:29:20 2010 >>> app-arch/bzip2-1.0.5-r1 Mon Jul 26 15:29:27 2010 >>> app-misc/mime-types-8 Mon Jul 26 15:29:36 2010 >>> sys-devel/autoconf-wrapper-8 Mon Jul 26 15:29:51 2010 >>> sys-apps/tcp-wrappers-7.6-r8 Mon Jul 26 15:30:00 2010 >>> sys-devel/automake-wrapper-4 Mon Jul 26 15:30:25 2010 >>> sys-libs/timezone-data-2010i Mon Jul 26 15:30:50 2010 >>> dev-libs/libffi-3.0.9 Mon Jul 26 15:31:22 2010 >>> sys-devel/patch-2.5.9 Mon Jul 26 15:33:04 2010 >>> app-arch/cpio-2.11 Mon Jul 26 15:33:22 2010 >>> sys-apps/which-2.20 Mon Jul 26 15:34:45 2010 >>> dev-util/pkgconfig-0.23 Mon Jul 26 15:35:41 2010 >>> app-arch/xz-utils-4.999.9_beta Mon Jul 26 15:36:01 2010 >>> app-portage/portage-utils-0.3.1 Mon Jul 26 15:37:02 2010 >>> sys-devel/m4-1.4.12 Mon Jul 26 15:37:36 2010 >>> sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.6.30-r1 Mon Jul 26 15:38:31 2010 >>> sys-apps/sandbox-1.6-r2 Mon Jul 26 15:40:34 2010 >>> dev-libs/mpfr-2.4.2_p3 Mon Jul 26 15:40:42 2010 >>> virtual/libffi-0 Mon Jul 26 15:41:02 2010 >>> sys-apps/sysvinit-2.87-r3 Mon Jul 26 15:41:17 2010 >>> net-misc/iputils-20071127 Mon Jul 26 15:41:25 2010 >>> virtual/init-0 Mon Jul 26 15:41:41 2010 >>> sys-apps/debianutils-3.1.3 Mon Jul 26 15:41:49 2010 >>> app-admin/python-updater-0.8 Mon Jul 26 15:41:57 2010 >>> sys-devel/binutils-config-1.9-r4 Mon Jul 26 15:42:16 2010 >>> sys-devel/autoconf-2.65 Mon Jul 26 15:43:24 2010 >>> sys-devel/libtool-2.2.10 Mon Jul 26 15:50:10 2010 >>> sys-devel/binutils-2.20.1-r1 Mon Jul 26 15:50:26 2010 >>> app-admin/eselect-python-20100321 Mon Jul 26 15:50:43 2010 >>> x11-proto/xproto-7.0.17 Mon Jul 26 15:51:58 2010 >>> sys-apps/texinfo-4.13 Mon Jul 26 15:52:43 2010 >>> sys-devel/flex-2.5.35 Mon Jul 26 16:38:25 2010 >>> sys-libs/glibc-2.11.2 Mon Jul 26 16:39:32 2010 >>> sys-libs/readline-6.1 Mon Jul 26 16:41:56 2010 >>> app-shells/bash-4.0_p37 Mon Jul 26 16:42:05 2010 >>> app-admin/perl-cleaner-1.05 Mon Jul 26 16:45:24 2010 >>> sys-apps/util-linux-2.18-r1 Mon Jul 26 16:46:47 2010 >>> sys-apps/findutils-4.4.2
