Nice :-). I do fail however to emerge grass :-(.  But, anyway, it is 6.4.2 so 
I don't really need it.  Maybe check the logs another day to see what's 
mising.

If you have more Gentoo-tips (reg. OSGeo stuff) and the time to share, please, 
do so :D

Yes, everything works fine after I mounted the partition I am workin on 
sans "noexec".  It was either the "auto" or the "user" option in fstab. Don't 
know which & why does hurt here.

As others do, I don't isntall too, I do run from inside the "bin." directory.

Something minor: I think the --enable-64it doesn't hurt but isn't required in 
grass7_trunk.

In addition, there is no --with-python option in grass7_trunk:  "./configure --
help | grep py" returns nothing.

It does exist in grass6:

/osgeo/src/grass64_release $ ./configure --help | grep py

  --with-python[=path/python-config]
                          (python-config with path, e.g.
                          '--with-python=/usr/bin/python2.5-config'

I bombed in this error while trying to configure grass7_trunk.  I had to  
"eselect python list"  and then set to python 2.7 by executing "sudo eselect 
python set 1".

I have a very similar script (with info stolen from the ML), copy-pasted below 
just for the records. Maybe I should direct some info in the wiki -- it would 
certainly help me, for example, if I have seen some info in the wiki.

Thank you, Nikos
