yes, sure.

it's just /usr/share/vim on Mandriva.

yes

hmm... I'm sure I once got a sandbox access violation during "emerge
suvex", but I can't even remember which version it was. I fixed it with
this simple patch and never touched the line since then. Just to be sure
I now took the line out and re-emerged survex 1.1.8 and 1.0.39, and both
 installed fine :-) Maybe it was a bug in an older sandbox version?
