Yes, and it's quite easy. Here is mine: app-emulation/virtualbox safecflags.conf j1.conf app-office/libreoffice notmpfs.conf dev-lang/R j1.conf games-fps/alienarena notmpfs.conf games-fps/worldofpadman notmpfs.conf games-puzzle/pingus safecflags.conf games-sports/vdrift notmpfs.conf mail-client/thunderbird notmpfs.conf sys-boot/grub grub.conf sys-libs/glibc nosandbox.conf www-client/firefox notmpfs.conf These *.conf files are located in /etc/portage/env/, and they are just shell scripts sourced by emerge. For example, j1.conf simply has the line 'MAKEOPTS=-j1' in it, this disables parallel makes for some packages where I had trouble with it. Similarly, notmpfs.conf has 'PORTAGE_TMPDIR=/var/portage/tmp', while my normal PORTAGE_TMPDIR is on tmpfs. 5G sometimes is not enough for the big packages. grub.conf has 'export DONT_MOUNT_BOOT=foo', this disables mounting the /boot directory and doing stuff there when emerging it again. I already forgot about this one. And nosandbox.conf has 'FEATURES=-usersandbox', as recent glibc does not build here with this setting. Any finally my savecflags.conf: CFLAGS="-pipe -march=amdfam10 -O2" CXXFLAGS=$CFLAGS Wonko
