I unmasked ksh for ~86 so that ksh-20070682 would emerge.  It emerges successfully and I haven't ran into any functioning errors.  It was suggested to me to file a bug report requesting that a newer version of ksh be made stable for the x86 platform.  

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge ksh
2.
3.
