16 It would build it, but with the same USE flags, so this would make no
17 change. If Silvia had changed the USE flag for python, --newuse would
18 make emerge rebuild it, with or without --update.

20 BTW, also add --oneshot / -1 to the emerge options, so the packages you
21 build manually do not end up in your world file. Unless you
22 explicitly want that, but when rebuilding existing things, they either
23 are already in world, or they are dependencies that do not need to be in
24 world.
