13 Actually, you shouldn't specifiy USE at this point. All bootstrap.sh is
14 doing is create a bootstrap gcc/glibc/binutils/etc so that when you run
15 "emerge system" all that stuff will be compiled with a "native"
16 environment (eg buildtools that have C* match what you want the running
17 system to have). If you specify the USE variable here, you'll probably
18 build a bunch of stuff that you don't want/need yet ("emerge system"
19 will recompile it all anyway).
20
21 Customize USE right before you do "emerge system".
