7 ... *including* the defaults specified in individual ebuilds.
8 About the default flags in profiles one may argue, but the
9 ebuild-enabled defaults are usually very decent and strongly
10 encouraged by upstream.
11 For this reason using "-Flag" in make.conf should better
12 be used sparringly: Unless you are sure that you want to disable
13 a particular feature really *globally*, it is better to turn it off
14 in /etc/portage/package.use for each package separately so that
15 packages which you might install in some future (or which add this
16 flag in some future) do not have already changed their default.
