Hi,
I'm in the process of installing KDE 4 and noticed something new to me.
I generally check my USE flags and make sure I am getting what I want
and not getting what I don't. I noticed this tho:
> [ebuild R ] x11-libs/qt-core-4.4.2 USE="qt3support ssl

This is just a few that are clumped together. There are quite a few
others as well. After checking I find out this:
> r...@smoker / # euse -i custom-cxxflags
> global use flags (searching: custom-cxxflags)
> ************************************************************
> [- ] custom-cxxflags - Build with user-specified CXXFLAGS (unsupported)

I notice it says unsupported. So I thought maybe I added this at some
point but didn't remember it. Here is my related make.conf info:
> r...@smoker / # cat /etc/make.conf | grep USE=
> USE="-a52 acl acpi alsa amd arts artswrappersuid automount -bluetooth

I try to keep my USE line in alphabetical order but I just don't see
that flag in there. I know KDE 4 is not stable but some of the packages
are being recompiled because of the USE flag being changed. This is my
profile info:
> r...@smoker / # eselect profile list
> Available profile symlink targets:
> [1] hardened/x86/2.6
> [2] selinux/2007.0/x86
> [3] selinux/2007.0/x86/hardened
> [4] default/linux/x86/2008.0
> [5] default/linux/x86/2008.0/desktop *
> [6] default/linux/x86/2008.0/developer
> [7] default/linux/x86/2008.0/server
> [8] hardened/linux/x86
> r...@smoker / #
I also checked the profile USE but don't see the change in there
either. So, why is this enabled but not supported? Is this safe to
have enabled? Does it even matter anyway? What is making it even
change to begin with?
Thanks.

P. S. I bet this will be simple too. o_O
