... what don't solve the problem.

I've filed a bug, which returned as "RESOLVED" because duplicate. Well
the duplicate was python-fchksum related but described something totally
different.

All I want is to Install Gentoo, ... and that crashed two times within
two days within one command.

I CANT RUN fix_libtool_files.sh BETWEEN ONE COMMAND!!!!!!!

Even "Ubuntu - Linux for human beings", the system I'm writing this
email from and for which I recognized that
# alias HUMAN_BEING='BFU'
is better than Gentoo just now, ... because it's installable.

:(
