I would strongly advise against that, just on principle.

yasm is an assembler, and as such it's right at the bottom of the stack.
It's not unreasonable for such a package to use different FLAGS etc as
it's not a userland app. It's an app that builds things you use to build
a userland.

I would recommend you touch base with the package maintainer for answers.

btw, why is this situation a problem? Is something wrong with the yasm
portage builds you?
