It's from an inherited eclass:
# grep inherit *
gcc-4.3.3-r2.ebuild:inherit toolchain
gcc-4.4.0.ebuild:inherit toolchain
nazgul gcc # grep nptl /var/portage/eclass/toolchain.eclass
IUSE="multislot nptl test"
confgcc="${confgcc} --disable-__cxa_atexit --enable-target-
optspace $(use_enable nptl tls)"
