Could someone tell me why certain USE flags that should be enabled in ebuilds are not and have parenthesis around them instead?- Grant
The parentheses denote flags that are masked by your profile, e.g. selinux is only available on the selinux profile. Some hardware-specific flags have this as well, e.g. altivec is masked on non-ppc profiles.
