uclibc will not use the zoneinfo database. This is why the package is
masked. You have to use use a POSIX timezone, like EST5EDT (I don't
remember the variant to take into account the North American daylight
saving change of 2009). The syntax is described at
http://leaf.sourceforge.net/doc/buci-tz3.html

> 2) Locale stuff
Locale support in uclibc and uclibc-ng is sketchy, so it's disabled.
However, locale-gen is glibc-specific

This is a glitch in the stages. Edit /etc/ld.so.conf to remove
duplicate entries and run the the same commands as when you change
your environment variables.

Not a problem in itself. You can rename them, then put them in directories

For X, it should be correct with uclibc-ng. For Pale Moon, I don't
know, However, I know this is hard to get Firefox working on uclibc.
See https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=475754

Thank you for the information about timezone, locale, and portage
files/directories. Most of the Firefox bugs seem to involve the use of
"--with-system-<lib-whatever>". The Pale Moon developers strongly urge
to *NOT* use "--with-system-<lib-whatever> when building Pale Moon. You
never know if your system libs are ahead of or behind the version that
Pale Moon expects. It's better to statically build the library version
bundled in the source code, and have a slightly larger binary. This
guarantees that Pale Moon gets the library version (ABI and API) that it
expects.

One further question; the messages after "emerge" say...

/sbin/ldconfig: You should remove `/lib' from `/etc/ld.so.conf'
/sbin/ldconfig: You should remove `/usr/lib' from `/etc/ld.so.conf'

My /etc/ld.so.conf file is...

# ld.so.conf autogenerated by env-update; make all changes to
# contents of /etc/env.d directory
/lib
/usr/lib
/usr/local/lib
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-gentoo-linux-uclibc/4.9.3

This says that /etc/ld.so.conf will be re-done each time I run
env-update. It implies that changes should be made in /etc/env.d I
executed "cd /etc/env.d" and then "grep -R /lib *". The output is...

00basic:LDPATH='/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib'
04gcc-i686-gentoo-linux-uclibc:LDPATH="/usr/lib/gcc/i686-gentoo-linux-uclibc/4.9.3"

gcc/.NATIVE:LDPATH="/usr/lib/gcc/i686-gentoo-linux-uclibc/4.9.3"
gcc/.NATIVE:MULTIOSDIRS="../lib"

What should I change?

Remove /lib:/usr/lib: from LDPATH in /etc/env.d/00basic, then run
env-update again
