It seems like something does

Really, this is a bug in their code. Unfortunately, there's no
way to unset an envorinment variable in rc (Yes, it's lame.
Complane to Tom, if you'd like, but it won't help). I could
always switch to the Unix rc port, and earn the neverending ire
of some Plan 9 folks, though.

>/usr/lib/portage/bin/ebuild.sh: line 1658: /bin/sort: Argument list too long
>/usr/lib/portage/bin/ebuild.sh: line 1658: /bin/tr: Argument list too long
>/usr/lib/portage/bin/misc-functions.sh: line 433: /usr/bin/find:

These are because rc stores functions in its environment. I'll
add code to wi_runcmd to unset them; you're not the first to
have this trouble.

Something like:

fn `{env | sed -n 's/^fn#([^=]+).*/\1/p'}

Or, you could use zsh, which automagically strips environment
variables that it doesn't like.
