A Gentoo update is in the works that will require anybody using systemd to move everything in / to /usr (it isn't difficult to switch). (/bin would become a symlink to /usr/bin and so on). Probably won't be mandatory for non-systemd users but pretty soon upstreams are going to start assuming that there is no difference between /usr/lib and /lib and so on. Gentoo maintainers could potentially patch that behavior but it currently isn't required to accept bugs that break booting if /usr isn't already mounted. Simplest solution is to use an initramfs, which is basically what 99% of linux users use (just talking about conventional distros here, but I'm guessing Android uses one). Depending on your config things may still work using /usr in the traditional way, but if it doesn't work there is no guarantee that anybody will help you fix that. -- Rich
