Right. Then you should not be offering USE flag settings for sse/sse2 on amd64. The only purpose of those flags is to allow us to build, say, i686 stages on a pentium4 without having to create a whole new arch to do so. Even if they didn't, according to remarks on irc supporting sse and friends on amd64 is a very different task from supporting them on x86. In which case, have different use flags, and plain old use.mask will work just fine. | It would be much cleaner not needing to do this.
