Portage uses cascading profiles now, so /etc/make.profile inherits |
| 9 |
use.defaults from /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/use.defaults |
| 10 |
and /usr/portage/profiles/base/use.defaults. |

That would be unworkable as flags are added or removed. It would also |
| 16 |
override and changes to the defaults without your knowing why. Get into |
| 17 |
the habit of using -av with emerge. You'll son see when you need to make |
| 18 |
changes to the flags. |
