Sorry about confusion. That ^^^ part - it's typical pebkac. I had it enabled |
| 24 |
somewhere in package.use (hard to spot in multiple files). |

Judging from positive responses, it's just the thing that can be done. |
| 33 |
grep -rHe "built_with_use.*\(python\|perl\)" /usr/portage (courtesy of |
