  Look at it this way, if you're competent to build Linux-From-Scratch,
you should have no problems whatsoever building from tarballs the few
packages you can't find in Gentoo, and putting them in /usr/local or

./configure --with-various-options && make && make install
schtick back in my Redhat days.
