Ah-HA!! You're right, I did specify NOPROFILE, but I did it in
/etc/make.conf, not on the command-line. I did so _not_ because of the
"worldstone thread" that you mention but simply because of the the way the
option is listed in /etc/make.conf without any warnings (like "make world
may fail if you do this," or something).
Thanks for the pointer!
