To rebuild python, it want the xml flag set for gentoolkit (got it). But also it shows "-threads" flag as not set. dev-lang/python-2.6.2-r1 USE="berkdb ncurses readline ssl -build -doc -examples -gdbm* -ipv6* -sqlite -threads* -tk -ucs2 -wininst -xml*" Is this a good idea or bad idea to leave the "-threads" flag unset in rebuilding python or any other package on this mostly iptables firewall? (even though nptl and nptlonly are set) ???? Where can I read up on the flags in some detail? James
