Ick. The way to do this that won't break things is to decide upon a set |
| 11 |
of USE flags, apply them at a global level and then make a set of |
| 12 |
binaries for said combination. Then, give it a name and stick a file |
| 13 |
named __make.conf__ in the binaries directory. There's probably some way |
| 14 |
to do this neatly using the stuff in GLEP 29 if you really want. |

Incidentally, you'd to do the same for CFLAGS that you do for USE. For |
| 17 |
certain CFLAGS you can't safely mix combinations, it's an all or nothing |
| 18 |
thing. |
