There is no meta-info AFAIK in a binary .tar.gz, so portage does NOT
know what CFLAGS, or USE flags it is built with.
Go ahead, use quickpkg to make a binary tarball of any package on your
system, then look tat the tarball. There is nothing to indicate USE or
CFLAGS.
If you want to install binaries you have to know yourself what options
were used in the compile.
The metadata is appended to the end of the tbz2 file. I guess you didn't see
my email earlier today which included a script that extracts the use flags.
