All those ports are commonly used and are not known to create home at
/compat/linux.

Please, do here 'rm -rf /compat/linux/*' .

If you want to test whether any of those ports create LINUXBASE/home
directory then you may create a file (# touch /compat/linux/home)
or something like that. And check up which port will raise an error
or warning.

After some (small) investigation I found only one port that may
install that directory. This port is linux_dist-gentoo-stage1 and it
has it's reasons to do it. But by default this port doesn't use
(it is not recommended and clearly documented) /compat/linux as
it's prefix.
