7 I don't think we should die on anything, if a user wants a particular
8 CFLAG, generally the default should be to let them use it. A warning
9 with a pause may also suffice.

11 Currently the amd64 profiles do some testing for broken USE flags. If
12 the user has flags that gcc will not accept (ie errors out with "invalid
13 command line option"), our profile.bashrc will filter them out
14 completely. If they have a flag that is on a list of pre-defined "bad"
15 flags it will warn the user about the flag and sleep for 5 seconds.
