I hadn't noticed the -p, but what will it show? It certainly won't

setting USE flags on the command line for that is even worse.
I agree that setting about anything on the command line is a bad idea.
However, it is just to test it to see what, if anything, it changes.
But it doesn't tell you if setting the flag solves the problem, because
it doesn't attempt to emerge the package that failed. As a test it fails.
Then I guess your mileage may vary then.
