10 For those of us who already have a default-pie system and now that we do,
11 don't want to go back, what's the prescribed override? I've never felt
12 the need to override a masked flag like that, before.

14 (I'm sure I could find the general documentation and handle it myself,
15 but I'm equally sure that there's likely to be others in my situation by
16 now, and we shouldn't /all/ need to figure it out on our own.)

18 (As some may remember, yes, I do have USE="-* ..." set, so didn't get pie
19 with the initial gcc6 emerge and @world rebuild, but I was persuaded by
20 the discussion here to try it, second global rebuild, and so far it
21 works. So both because it's supposed to be safer and because I don't
22 want to do now a /third/ global rebuild, I strongly prefer to keep it,
23 now that I have it, and no issues so far.)
