It would build it, but with the same USE flags, so this would make no
change. If Silvia had changed the USE flag for python, --newuse would
make emerge rebuild it, with or without --update.
BTW, also add --oneshot / -1 to the emerge options, so the packages you
build manually do not end up in your world file. Unless you
explicitly want that, but when rebuilding existing things, they either
are already in world, or they are dependencies that do not need to be in
world.
