Is it just me? On a new install I always still to an emerge -e @world
once I get to a working text based boot and I've done any modification
to make.conf as I don't really know how the compiler or tool set was
built. Just paranoid.

I used to do it twice before I started installing apps or desktops but
I've cut back. :-)
