Marc,

I attempted to take your advice by
a. Not installing the CDT on my CDT development installation
b. Not setting an API baseline on my CDT development installation

These are the steps I took:

1. Purchase a Dell m6600 laptop, install Gentoo linux 64 bit

2. Download and extract eclipse-SDK-3.8-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz,
launch eclipse, create new workspace

3. Help | Install New Software |
http://download.eclipse.org/egit/updates | Select Eclipse Git Team
Provider | Next | Next | Agree | Finish | Restart

4. Help | Install New Software |
http://download.eclipse.org/technology/swtbot/helios/dev-build/update-site
| Select All | Next | Next | Agree | Finish | Restart

5. Help | Install New Software |
http://download.eclipse.org/tools/orbit/downloads/drops/R20120526062928/repository/
| Select All | Next |
-- ERROR: Apache * modules already installed
-- CANCEL

6. Attempt to install RSE | Fail | Cancel (see below)

7. File | Import | Git | Projects From Git | URI |
git://git.eclipse.org/gitroot/cdt/org.eclipse.cdt.git | select only
cdt_8_1 | next | next | Import existing projects | Next | Select all |
Finish

8. Close the "Welcome" tabs.  Open "Problems" tab.

9. Wait for build to complete.

10. First 100 errors (filtered):
BadParseException cannot be resolved to a type
BadParseSymFileException cannot be resolved to a type
Bundle 'net.sourceforge.lpg.lpgjavaruntime' cannot be resolved
Bundle 'org.eclipse.rse.core' cannot be resolved
Bundle 'org.eclipse.rse.files.ui' cannot be resolved
Bundle 'org.eclipse.rse.services' cannot be resolved
Bundle 'org.eclipse.rse.subsystems.files.core' cannot be resolved
Bundle 'org.eclipse.rse.subsystems.shells.core' cannot be resolved
Bundle 'org.eclipse.rse.ui' cannot be resolved
Bundle 'org.eclipse.test.performance' cannot be resolved
ConfigurationElement cannot be resolved to a type
ConfigurationStack cannot be resolved to a type
DiagnoseParser cannot be resolved to a type

I assume the "Bundle cannot be resolved" is Eclipse asking for me to
install some additional plugins.  I made a valiant effort to install
RSE but failed.  Mostly because RSE appears to not be offered as a P2
repository, only a zip file download.  The ZIP file is repeatedly
rejected by my eclipse install.  If necessary I will spend more time
attempting to install RSE but I'm beginning to suspect I've entered a
"death spiral" that is getting me no closer to developing CDT.

Thank you for your help,

Chris
