I'm confused (not unusual). Do you want to create a Gentoo package of |
| 9 |
your program that can be added to portage? |
| 10 |

USE flags are used only by the Gentoo portage system, not by the compiler |
| 12 |
or linker that compiles and links your source code. |

If you wrote the program, then you have complete control over the linker |
| 15 |
flags (e.g. -static, as Albert mentioned) and those flags usually are |
| 16 |
defined in a Makefile (which you create, being the programmer). |
| 17 |
|

I can't be sure, but I think you are confusing Gentoo's USE flags with |
| 19 |
gcc's (or ld's) flags, which are entirely different. |

Please give more details about what you want to do. |
