The problem is that you're setting USE multiple times in your make.conf.
Rather than do that, you need to set it once to contain all the settings
you want.

In other words, instead of doing something like this:

    USE="foo bar"
    USE="baz"

You need to do

    USE="foo bar
         baz"

Also, so you don't get tripped on this, be aware that make.conf looks
deceptively like shell syntax.  It APPEARS that you could do

    USE="foo bar"
    USE="$USE baz"

HOWEVER, the file is not sourced by bash.  It is read by a Python
program that doesn't understand the above syntax.  You must set USE all
in one go...

    USE="foo bar
         baz"

Hope this helps.  I've Cc'd this to gentoo-dev so that it might be
helpful to others.  Let me know how it goes.
