For those of us who already have a default-pie system and now that we do, don't want to go back, what's the prescribed override? I've never felt the need to override a masked flag like that, before. (I'm sure I could find the general documentation and handle it myself, but I'm equally sure that there's likely to be others in my situation by now, and we shouldn't /all/ need to figure it out on our own.) (As some may remember, yes, I do have USE="-* ..." set, so didn't get pie with the initial gcc6 emerge and @world rebuild, but I was persuaded by the discussion here to try it, second global rebuild, and so far it works. So both because it's supposed to be safer and because I don't want to do now a /third/ global rebuild, I strongly prefer to keep it, now that I have it, and no issues so far.) -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
