The time has come to edit make.conf on my new gentoo-netbook.
But one thing has always bothered me: What's the point of
specifying a *negative* flag with a hyphen? Why not just
leave the flags you don't use out of the file entirely?
Some flags are on by default, so this stops their use.
example, I use openbox , so don't need gnome or kde support.
I haven't got access to my Gentoo box, but from memory,
/etc/make.profile I think is a symbolic link to another file that
contains all the default make flags. One way to determine the flags is
running:
/usr/portage/profiles/targets/desktop/make.defaults
$ emerge --info
It should list the USE-flags on your system, allowing you to find out
any extras that may have been set that you may want to "-" away.
