Doing this manually is a pain. Copy the ebuild to your personal overlay and |

modify it to do what you want. |

Full detials are in man 5 ebuild, including a full list of all functions |

You will be wanting to perform a sed in src_prepare, methinks. |
| 22 |
Or manipulate ECONF in src_compile if the package provides a way to adjust the |
| 23 |
values you are interested in. |
