18 No, --keep-going allows to continue as long as possible after a
19 build failure. Helmut asks about dependecies resolution failures,
20 e.g. in some package REQUIRED_USE is not met, or circular
21 dependency occurs and so on.
22
23 AFAIK there is no way to use keep-going like option for deps
24 resolution, because first error may trigger a lot of others and
25 there will be inevitably false errors, because the dependency tree
26 was not fully built.
