It would be useful if ebuilds listed any USE flags that don't affect the |
| 2 |
package the ebuild is for, so that emerge knows it doesn't need to rebuild |
| 3 |
the package if these change (or are newly added to the ebuild). These |
| 4 |
include flags like "glibc-compat20" and "nptl" on glibc-2.4-r3 (if they |
| 5 |
aren't set correctly, it just doesn't build, because this version doesn't |
| 6 |
support other configurations, but the USE flag is there so you don't |
| 7 |
blindly lose some obsolete feature you needed), or "minimal" on (e.g.) |
| 8 |
xinit (which affects RDEPEND, but not anything else). |

It's obviously not important for correctness, but it would save a whole |
| 11 |
lot of time, because it seems to be mostly big packages that end up with |
| 12 |
these, and ignoring them is a pain when you actually change a meaningful |
| 13 |
global USE flag and want to rebuild everything that's actually different. |
