Thing is, one of the ones that fails is a package that I have
installed.  That would be busybox and I think that is likely on
everyone's system so this would affect every Gentoo system out there.  I
think I read on -dev somewhere a while back that busybox ended up being
pulled in as part of the @system profile/set. 

Anyway, I figure they will have a fix before to long.  I just find it
hard to believe that with all the planning that was put into this, the
changelogs and these issues were missed.  It's not like they decided to
change this over a short time frame.  They been working on this for
ages.  Live and learn I guess.  ;-)
