It's a USE flag. It is not a usual USE flag. It is a USE flag that does not appear in $ equery uses llvm-core/llvm * Found these USE flags for llvm-core/llvm-20.1.7: U I - - abi_x86_32 : 32-bit (x86) libraries + + binutils-plugin : Build the binutils plugin - - debug : Enable extra debug codepaths, like asserts and extra output. If you want to get meaningful backtraces see https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Quality_Assurance/Backtraces - - doc : Build and install the HTML documentation and regenerate the man pages - - exegesis : Enable performance counter support for llvm-exegesis tool that can be used to measure host machine instruction characteristics - - libedit : Use the libedit library (replacement for readline) + + libffi : Enable support for Foreign Function Interface library - - llvm_targets_ARC : ARC (Argonaut RISC Core) embedded CPU target [EXPERIMENTAL] - - llvm_targets_CSKY : C-SKY CPU target [EXPERIMENTAL] - - llvm_targets_DirectX : DirectX target [EXPERIMENTAL] - - llvm_targets_M68k : Motorola 68000 target [EXPERIMENTAL] - - llvm_targets_Xtensa : Tensilica Xtensa (ESP32) CPU target [EXPERIMENTAL] - - test : Enable dependencies and/or preparations necessary to run tests (usually controlled by FEATURES=test but can be toggled independently) - - verify-sig : Verify upstream signatures on distfiles + + xml : Add support for XML files - - z3 : Enable support for sci-mathematics/z3 constraint solver + + zstd : Enable support for ZSTD compression I think that making a news about USE flags that is not reported by equery uses command make no more than one news per year. :) > The default change is more > convenient for various reasons, and has little value in removing.
