The USE flag is only effective on ppc64 and sparc where the kernel |
| 5 |
sometimes is the only code that is compiled 64bit and therefore a |
| 6 |
seperate, much smaller version of gcc is used to build the kernel. The |
| 7 |
flag should in fact be masked everywhere except for those profiles, |
| 8 |
which is what bug 144535 [1] deals with. |
