I guess the best question might be ‘Why do you want -fpic?’ > 2) I see too many flags that are disabled by the profile - the kind with > the parenthesis around them, like "(-3dnow)". Why?

Parentheses indicate that you can’t change those USE flags; they are immutably set in the profile, for whatever reason. -- Barry.SCHWARTZ at chemoelectric.org http://chemoelectric.org Free stuff / Senpagaj varoj: http://crudfactory.com (PDF) 'Democracies don't war; democracies are peaceful countries.' - Bush (http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2005/12/20051219-2.html)
