Erm... I'm not sure if this is a dumb-question... but I thought that
bootstrap should use only the USE settings in
/usr/portage/profiles/build/make.defaults ?
 
  $grep USE make.defaults
  USE="build"

I note that sys-apps/sed is listed in /usr/portage/profiles/build/packages

Is it possible that hunt3r has found some clever undocumented way to
manipulate his USE flags too early in his installation..?
