The stage3 make.conf does include USE=bindist by default, as it includes packages affected by this flag (specifically openssh and openssl). It's required, as I understand, because the stage3 does distribute binaries of these packages, thus must have the patent-encumbered parts disabled. -- Sam Jorna (wraeth) <wra...@gentoo.org> GnuPG Key: D6180C26
