I don't know why it didn't occur to me to check for a make.conf variable instead of an environment variable or USE flag. Of course now that I know that make.conf variable's name, I have found it in few other places in the emerge man page, and there's a clear description of it in make.conf(5). Unfortunately, the emerge man page doesn't really discuss make.conf except for a few places where it's mentioned that some specific option can be controlled via make.conf. -- Grant
