Yup - you can't really compare Gentoo build workflows with those for virtually any binary distro. On Gentoo building is an operation that impacts end-users. On Debian they can run some super-fragile build system 2000x until they actually manage to get a clean build, and then they can just package that up and nobody will be the wiser. On Gentoo a fragile build system means an endless stream of bugs. Warnings should not force errors, unless we know they will actually cause end users problems. Rich
