  I brought this up about a month or so ago, since I used devtools
  to compile some linux binaries.  I installed linux_dist-gentoo-stage3
  (based on the advice I got on the list), did a chroot, installed some
  software using gentoo's portage system, and then compiled some code.
  It was fairly easy to use, when I compiled on the old linux_base using
  the linux_devtools I do remember having to mess with some of the    
  paths.  I haven't had time to test usage from the gentoo dirs, a 
  a chroot is not real convenient as opposed to running from the 
  /usr/compat/linux setup, but as stated I haven't had much time to 
  test usage yet.  Just thought I would share my experiences so far.
