*slaps forehead* of course that's why. I can't remember why I disabled |

it, I don't remember any problems with it. |

Thanks for the pointers. Only 19 packages are being recompiled, so it |
28 |
should be done soon and I can test out the new settings. |
29 |
|
30 |
But the list of packages being recompiled have mostly to do with |
31 |
video, audio and transcoding. I understand it's the --newuse flag |
32 |
that's causing those, not the additional parameters in CFLAGS. Will |
33 |
the CFLAGS have benefits on other packages? Such as Firefox or maybe |
34 |
netscape-flash? For those I might want to do an emerge --emptytree |
35 |
world... |
