Subject: [gentoo-user] default USE flag

1 Since I first started using Gentoo I've had -* in my make.conf USE
2 flag specification so I only build support for the stuff I want.
3 Sometimes I can't figure out if I need a certain USE flag or not. In
4 this case it would be useful to know whether Portage sets the flag by
5 default or not. Is there any way to figure this out without removing
6 -* from make.conf and re-running the -a or -p emerge command?
