Hello Dave. Why this can be so important? Yes, I set my local timezone
to GMT. If it won't harm the system, who cares? Or, does it harm? 
And yes, I am in st.Petersburg (Russia), but I coudn't find any
relevant timesone when I've installed Gentoo for the (3)rd time
and thoght this would be fine. Does this interfere with my using
and compiling the system?

I have only found exaple with "working" ( as athour claims) USE flags for
"working"bootstraping . If you feel that some packages will hogtie, please
advice on what USE flags have to be removed ( or added).

Not sure what do you mean by that. Emerge -pv just estimating what packages
have to be emerged.

I was asking about USE variable "USE=", not about CFLAGS.. ( those will
come up later).., and from various sources, they have to be ( for instance)
-mmmx, msse, etc.. But do I have to include thoe flags to my USE variable?
( like mmx, sse, etc).

Thanks for your response, but probably some one added to USE flags in make.conf?
And how did it go in bootstrapping? Also, to rephrase my original question
do I have include all of them or only mmx, sse, mtrr as Dave suggested?

Thanks. Alex.
