Installing app-arch/gzip from a binhost on a split-usr system makes zgrep unusuable. The relevant line of the zgrep script is grep='${GREP-'\''/bin/grep'\''}' Or at least that is how the line looks, on a split-usr system, if compiled manually. If installed from a binhost, the line is grep='${GREP-'\''/usr/bin/grep'\''}' The line also suggests a workaround: GREP=`which grep` zgrep FOO /proc/config.gz Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start with a split-usr system 2. Install gzip from a binhost 3. Attempt to zgrep a gzip archive (/proc/config.gz in my case) Actual Results: /usr/bin/zgrep: 1: eval: /usr/bin/grep: not found Expected Results: CONFIG_INOTIFY_USER=y My currently chosen binhost is https://mirror.sox.rs/gentoo/releases/amd64/binpackages/23.0/x86-64/
Created attachment 897326 [details, diff] app-arch/gzip: embed canonical path to grep, not the one detected on $PATH This patch seems to work for me. We do this in a few other places as well...

It is available everywhere in /bin.
