I'm building several different Gentoo systems using crossdev. In each case, when using '${CHOST}-emerge sys-apps/systemd', the diailout and systemd-journald group is not added to the built system's /etc/group file. This isn't a systemd issue, it's a Portage issue because 'enewgroup dialout' and 'enewgroup systemd-journal' is not working as expected. I haven't tested with other ebuilds, but I imagine other ebuilds will suffer from the same issue. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set up any kind of crossdev environment 2. cross-emerge systemd 3. Break your monitor when you realized you pushed out a faulty init system just because one group was not added. Actual Results: /usr/${CHOST}/etc/group does not contain the 'dialout' and 'systemd-journal' groups. Expected Results: /usr/${CHOST}/etc/group should contain two new groups: dialout and systemd-journal.
