I haven't got access to my Gentoo box, but from memory, /etc/make.profile I |
| 19 |
think is a symbolic link to another file that contains all the default make |
| 20 |
flags. One way to determine the flags is running: |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
$ emerge --info |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
It should list the USE-flags on your system, allowing you to find out any |
| 25 |
extras that may have been set that you may want to "-" away. |
