guess this is the last package with this problem, I'm surprised it isn't fixed yet. at least dev-qt/qtwebengine-5.15.2_p20211216 has that problem, along with earlier versions. the issue is installation resolves symlinks into the actual path and creates the corresponding directories. after make install portage fails to find the expected files from the installatiopn since they are in a different directory. so I get the cryptic error "dev-qt/qtwebengine-5.15.2_p20211216 failed to build anything". and right above that error I can see for example "/usr/lib64/qt5/bin/qmake -install qinstall /systemd/var/tmp/portage/dev-qt/qtwebengine-5.15.2_p20211216/work/qtwebengine-5.15.2_p20211216_build/lib/cmake/Qt5WebEngineWidgets/Qt5WebEngineWidgetsConfigVersion.cmake /systemd/var/tmp/portage/dev-qt/qtwebengine-5.15.2_p20211216/image/systemd/usr/lib64/cmake/Qt5WebEngineWidgets/Qt5WebEngineWidgetsConfigVersion.cmake" and indeed the only directory in image/ is systemd/usr/ and its subdirtectories... Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. mkdir /systemd; mv /usr /systemd; ln -s systemd/usr /usr 2. emerge -v1 dev-qt/qtwebengine Actual Results: /systemd/var/tmp/portage/dev-qt/qtwebengine-5.15.2_p20211216/image/systemd is created and installation is inside of that Expected Results: /systemd/var/tmp/portage/dev-qt/qtwebengine-5.15.2_p20211216/image/usr should be directly containing the installed binaries as expected by portage needless to say, chroot /systemd allows me to install dev-qt/qtwebengine without issues, have been using it for years. I'm reporting it only now because gentoo removed the aufs kernel sources package and I'm unaware of other ways to install multiple distros on the same filesystem -- which in turn increases bug-severity...
