Just a small investigation would show this: dev-lang/php-5.1.4-r6 has _96_ USE flags. That makes 2^96 = 7.9928+28 combinations. Given the (unreasonable) assumption that each compilation would only take 1s and each compilation would actually succeed, you'd still have ~8e28 seconds. The age of the universe is approximately 4e17 seconds. This hasn't yet investigated allt he possible combinations of packages depending on dev-lang/php, or the ~10,000 other packages in the tree.
