However, since both are marked for 'internal use only', I don't think
it's a good idea to use them here. So I guess we need a new flag. Does
anyone have suggestions how to name it?

Incidentally, if those were all migrated to USE_EXPAND_HIDDEN, the dire
warnings wouldn't need to be so visible...

Now if only anyone would remember what these were intended for?

Both "build" and "bootstrap" are reserved for stage building. The former is used on stage1 and iirc, the latter is used by scripts/bootstrap.sh in the portage tree called during stage2.

Maybe we're just trying to re-invent the wheel...

No, they are needed for stage building and for that *only*, so please find another solution so you don't end up "killing" stage building and forcing releng to "fix" it again.
