Yes, that works!

Thanks!!

I don't know why it didn't occur to me to check for a make.conf
variable instead of an environment variable or USE flag.  Of course
now that I know that make.conf variable's name, I have found it in few
other places in the emerge man page, and there's a clear description
of it in make.conf(5).

Unfortunately, the emerge man page doesn't really discuss make.conf
except for a few places where it's mentioned that some specific option
can be controlled via make.conf.
