No one said it would be hard, just that it has great potential for
breakage. That potential is still there. When the devs tweak default USE

To be more serious:
* Set a minimal basic profile (as already suggested)
* Tune your USE-Flags in make.conf. media-related flags (mp3, flac) should
be harmless, if you touch flags that get used in core packages (e.g. in the
toolchain) double (or triple) check if you don't do evil things.

The point with USE=-* is to create your own base
