This... could be= a=20 > problem. -debug means you don't have debug pointers.. A use flag can be considered as a configure option.. -debug means --disable-debug, +gnome means --enable-gnome... What -debug does is it disables debugging, i.e., it strips the binary of debugging symbols.. +flags enables support for the feature.. To have a look at all the USE flag and what they do take a look at /usr/portage/profiles/use.desc and /usr/portage/profiles/use.local.desc > First: >=20 > I'd like to know where I can change the USE flags globally, such that all= new=20 > activity will have no debug support, which I don't need.

Atleast in x86 profiles they are, so i don't think you need to add the USE=3D"kde qt" line to /etc/make.conf as they are enabled by default > How can I specifically re-build a package with changed USE flags?
