I have.. even for packages w/o a USE flag. Granted, I'm not blaming the
developers.. they have a lot of work to do. But it *does* happen.
Usually the fix is easy enough.
Just yesterday I reported a bug with webkit-gtk. The gtk2 version
doesn't build at all (it's an upstream issue that they call a
gtk3-specific function). No matter what combination of USE flags you
use it wasn't gonna build, but it was obvious nobody had ever tried to
build it, not even upstream apparently. :P
