When EAPI=7[0], ${ROOT} == "/" will always be false in: if use make-symlinks && [[ ! ${VERY_BRAVE_OR_VERY_DUMB} == "yes" ]] && [[ ${ROOT} == "/" ]] ; then Thus prevents the safeguard from functioning. Should be changed to [[ -z ${ROOT} ]] Brought to my attention because of this thread: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1122635.html [0] https://mgorny.pl/articles/the-ultimate-guide-to-eapi-7.html#d-ed-root-eroot-no-longer-have-a-trailing-slash
