If you use the hardened toolchain, using this flag does not increase security and can even lead to problems. Adds several more agressive CXXFLAGS/LDFLAGS for optimization like graphite (if available). May cause trouble with some buggy compiler versions. Absense of this USE flag does not strip user's *FLAGS + Add many checks to prevent exploits if eix code has a bug. This will slow down eix considerably. Use only if you are paranoid or have reasons to suspect a bug. Compile in support for portage's sqlite backend; to actually use it you need additional configuration of portage and eix Create separate binary for script helper tools; useful if they are called extremely often -- cgit v1.2.3-18-g5258
