I've noticed in the past that some packages do that during the configure stage. The only way I know to do those is to emerge the package and check the configure stage in the log. Keep in mind, some options won't cause a fail. It may continue to build without certain options but not be able to perform whatever those options add capabilities for. One that I used to get a error from is the nvidia drivers package. On rare occasions it wanted certain options enabled. I don't know if it still does that but would be surprised if it complained when certain drivers are not enabled. There may be a way to use elogviewer to do this, or at least some way to "scan"/grep the log files there. I suspect you could view those logs, figure out a common set of words/phrases and then get a tool to find them for you. My grep, xargs and friends abilities are not only limited, they almost don't exist compared to what I've seen some post on here. Maybe that idea will allow someone who is good at them to come up with ways to accomplish that or give you ideas if you have those skills. Hope that helps. Dale :-) :-)
