How do I run emerge so that when buildin/emerging the package another
PATH is used ?

Unless what you are really asking is how do you get emerge to install
files to a different location. In that case look at the --root option in
man emerge.

Is there another word for synonym?

Doesn't seems to work...

# echo $PATH /usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/local/texlive/2022/bin/x86_64-linux
# emerge -aqvu app-text/dblatex
...
# grep ^Err /Net/gentoo/tmpdir/portage/app-text/dblatex-0.3.11-r1/temp/build.log
Error: not found: latex, makeindex, pdflatex, kpsewhich
# which latex
/usr/local/texlive/2022/bin/x86_64-linux/latex
#

Something seems to set its own PATH.

It probably reinitialises PATH when dropping to the portage user? Try modifying PATH in /etc/portage/bashrc — note that this file is sourced multiple times during the build, see <https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki//etc/portage/bashrc>.

Thanks, that solved it.

From man emerge:

ENVIRONMENT OPTIONS

ROOT = [path]
Use ROOT to specify the target root filesystem to be used for merging
the requested packages or ebuilds and their runtime dependencies. This
variable can be set via the --root option or in make.conf(5) (the
command line overrides other settings).
Defaults to /.

--root=DIR
Set the ROOT environment variable.

That variable is either set in make.conf or on the emerge command line
as a option.  Of course, this depends on what it is you are trying to accomplish.  More info on that may help others to know what settings
need to be adjusted. 

Hope that helps.
