well i cant answer it if you havent asked it ... me not answering you on irc when i'm not around does not constitute being ignored and anyone who relies on irc in this respect really needs to learn more about irc the log message looks pretty clear to me, i dont see this "hidden message" you're referring to the ssp/pie/htb patches have their own USE flags so separating them from USE=vanilla makes perfect sense ... now you can do: gentoo patches + ssp gentoo patches + nossp vanilla + ssp vanilla + nossp whereas before you only had the option of: gentoo patches + ssp vanilla + nossp like i said in my previous e-mail, forcing stubs onto people even when USE=vanilla *is by design* because i got tired of people who had no clue about the consequences throwing USE=vanilla into their USE in make.conf and then complaining when the lack of SSP broke things ... this is also the reason i havent added USE=vanilla to glibc, too many users would simply break their boxes -mike
