The following just happened on a prefix installation that I am using:

# eselect editor set vim
Setting EDITOR to /root/gentoo/usr/bin/vim ...
Run ". /etc/profile" to update the variable in your shell.

In this case, it should be printing /root/gentoo/etc/profile, not /etc/profile.

Right, we need to add ${EROOT} here.
