False. These packages should already have this use flag set by default in 
a vanilla Gentoo setup. Perhaps you masked something related to ruby 
already?

Hans,

You are correct.

A year ago I added RUBY_TARGETS=ruby18 ruby19 to my make.conf in
order to get my system to build.  Today I removed the entry from
make.conf and my update continues without error.

At the time I believe the problem was: 'the gentoo base system needed
the ruby19 USE_EXPAND but it was still awaiting approval.  Work around
the problem by adding RUBY_TARGETS=ruby18 ruby19 to make.conf'

Thank you,

Chris
