I don't really see what it has to do with ebuild devs... We're talking about 
the user's environment leaking into the portage build environment, no? 
Environment vars used by ebuilds can/should be set by users in a portage 
configuration file rather than being added to the environment. The only 
issue i see here is user customizations - fex, a hypothetical colorgcc that 
gets its config info from the env.
