Well, /etc/make.profile is a symlink to /usr/portage/profiles/default, so any
changes you make inside /etc/make.profile will be erased the next time you do
an emerge rsync. A better technique is to copy /usr/portage/profiles/default
to another location outside of /usr/portage (/etc would be fine) and then hack
away.
