Hi,
what does top post mean?
My fault. I new I read it somewhere but I did not spend enough time to
read everything.

Declare temporary USE flags
Sometimes you want to set a certain USE setting only once. Instead of
editing /etc/make.conf twice (to do and undo the USE changes) you can
just declare the USE variable as environment variable. Remember that,
when you re-emerge or update this application (either explicitly or as
part of a system update) your changes will be lost!
As an example we will temporarily remove java from the USE setting
during the installation of seamonkey.
Code Listing 2.5: Using USE as environment variable
# USE="-java" emerge seamonkey

2. This is a very bad suggestion, as portage does not record the
settings used. With the next upgrade of mplayer, especially if it's a
deep world update, mplayer will be remerged with standard USE flags,
modified by make.conf and package.use. This will potentially pull in
unwanted ipv6 stuff for example.
'USE=<flags> emerge <options> <packages>' has been deprecated for a very
long time now for these reasons.
