In fact if i remove the USE line from the make.conf file ...and i do emerge --info ...it is showing USE flags that i have no clue from where its coming. I guess that that is what is overiding my changes in USE i.e its been ignoring the fact that wanted mmx and 3dnow etc to be used.
In case that can give you a clue below is the whole emerge --info even after i commented out my USE line in make.conf Thanks a lot for all the help...
