I think you're missing something though -  my system (and your system) also
have gcc and python and all the neat gnu utilities like awk, and grep, and
bash, etc. These are all *different versions* depending on when you
last --updated them. The portage tree is also *VERY* different based on when
you last ran emerge sync - it changes hourly. My portage tree is different
than someone who syncd this AM (as I have not done so for about two weeks,
my ram blew up! waiting on RMA.:-(  ) The absolute lowest common denominator
that anyone has is the product they installed from - which are the various
stages..
