I have built pdftex-1.30.3 following the wiki on a Gentoo box - which is
what I use. After some try and swear, changing this line in the Build
script of the pdftex dist, made it work:

$ diff Build Build~
69c69
< (cd texk/web2c; $MAKE texmf=${TEXMF_PATH:-/usr/share/texmf} pdftex pdfetex) || exit 1
---
> (cd texk/web2c; $MAKE pdftex pdfetex || exit 1) || exit 1

When it compiles, just copy pdfetex to /usr/bin, and the *.fmt and
*.pool to /var/lib/texmf/web2c - this is where formats live.

The only texmf.cnf lives in /etc/texmf.cnf; other are symlinks to it.
