Description Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis 2022-01-09 16:18:57 UTC

sys-devel/gcc-config uses ROOT environmental variable.
This tool is usually used in toolchain.eclass, wherein at least part of solution will be needed.
See tracker for details.

respecting $ROOT is entirely expected & desired behavior

if you want to add a --root to explicitly set/override it, that's fine
