I thought this was more the standard definition. The custom-cflags thing is there for upstreams which *demand* that we use their CFLAGS, and nothing else. Setting USE=custom-cflags there just overrides upstream's flags in that case, which means you can expect upstream to immediately flag any question/bug/complaint as invalid. -- Fabian Groffen Gentoo on a different level
