For me it did, half a year ago, several packages failed to build due to
strange libtool errors. It took me some days until I found the solution:
unset path.

Libtool uses this variable without unsetting it before, and SystemRescueCD
defines it as environment variable, which is still available in the
chroot. This messed things up a lot.

Apart from that, I really like SystemRescueCD.
