This was a reason for me to mention that Gentoo works fine for me as firebird 
building OS:-)

Binaries placed to SF are built in a manner making them usable with as much 
types of distros as possible. You see we have a bit different aims, therefore 
most of gentoo patches are not usable.

But if there are any Gentoo specific recomendations/patches (better startup 
file for SS, for example) - always happy to use it. I know that Gentoo users 
should not use prebuilt binaries, it violates emerge rules - but soemtimes 
ago we had a request to add gentoo startup style to them.
