After that, a simple update of @world rebuilt everything else on its own.

Personally, I had been waiting for libglvnd support for _a long time_.
This - and I mean GLVND in general - is something that should have come
to Linux many years ago, along with NVIDIAs PRIME render offloading.

10y ago I used to have an Optimus laptop with an Nvidia GPU and it was
an absolute hell to get it running, I remember writing tonnes of scripts
using VirtualGL and a dummy X server running on the Nvidia GPU. This was
before bumblebee.

Today, I still need this with an external GPU.

But now it takes 1 environment variable to offload to the other GPU!
GLVND literally made my Linux work experience a million times better.
I'm extatic.

My change went quite well here.  I removed the flag entry everywhere and then did a emerge world, with the correct options of course.  I then logged out, went to boot runlevel, reloaded the video drivers, went back to default and logged in.  I can't tell any difference here video wise tho. 

I did notice that my sddm problem is worse now.  It's worse now than it was when it first started.  In just a few hours it is consuming over 4GBs of memory.  That is ridiculous to me.  It using more than Firefox, both profiles, and any other software I have running.  I'm thinking about looking for a alternative to sddm.  I switched to it a while back but I don't like this memory hungry thing behaving this way.
