7 Exactly, or x86 CPU extensions based USE flags, more exactly.

9 It seems the thread has been somewhat hijacked in favour of automating
10 setting USE flags or at least helping to set them based on information
11 found here and there on the system that happens to be queried for it,
12 something we have never supported since the thankfully forgotten days of
13 <profiles/base/use.defaults>. And rather than trusting gcc
14 -march=native to do the work for you, you would probably be better off
15 checking `grep ^flags /proc/cpuinfo' anyway. :)
