Probably should mention that gentoo-embedded was hoping to use this mechainism to create root filesystems. If a crosscompiler was used at the time this could badly cripple a development system. Running with portage 2.0.49-r15 has similar results: Case #1: Calculating dependencies ...done!

it's works for me correctly.
Can you show me '/var/lib/rootfs_i386/var/cache/edb/virtuals'?

emerge--empty_only_root.patch
What about this for case 1? It makes the "--empty" option having effect only on
$ROOT vartree, but not on "/" vartree if $ROOT != "/". This behavior is more
intuitive imho.
I experienced case 1 while trying to cross-compile for an Amiga. Good thing I noticed after the first package, that would have totally screwed things up!

There are a number of cases where the use of ROOT in the environment is ignored by emerge. CASE 1: using emerge with the -e (empty-tree) option. Note taking away the --pretend option had a unexpected effect on me - Yes it does what is says its going to do. CASE 2: Haven't quite figured out why - may something to do with virtuals. The net-mail/ssmtp package isn't installed in the root directory. The --deep option made this one show up.
