Ok, that's explains what's happening. |

But now I have to recompile something on the order of 60 - 70 packages |
| 16 |
with a new USE flag which is apparently not used anywhere (and is |
| 17 |
simply an artifact of an inherit) (I checked some of the ebuilds, not |
| 18 |
all, and none so far use that flag directly). I'll even predict money |
| 19 |
that the new binaries are identical to the old ones. |

Forgive my saying this, but that is a stupendous waste of my cpu cycles |
| 22 |
and time. A better solution must exist - if this moves to arch |
| 23 |
unchanged the gentoo user base will go ballistic |
