USE=cxx should do just fine, it will disable the C++-related parts,
whatever they are. Sincerely I'd quite like to enable it on my vserver's
build chroots too.

(BTW I considered using lzma for backup compression, but I didn't get
much different results from bzip2 in term of size, but took quite longer
in case of compression... I still have some doubts whether lzma is worth
it).
