===============================

'/usr/lib64/p7zip/help/cmdline/switches/sfx.htm#SFX_Module' lists the 
following:

SFX_Module      Description
----------      -----------
7z.sfx          Windows version.
7zCon.sfx       Console version.
7zS.sfx         Windows version for installers.
7zSD.sfx        Windows version for installers (uses MSVCRT.dll).

Hmm ... can't see anything in there other than 7xCon.sfx:

p7zip_15.09/CPP/7zip/Bundles/

p7zip_15.09/CPP/7zip/Bundles/SFXCon/SfxCon.cpp
p7zip_15.09/CPP/7zip/Bundles/SFXCon/makefile.list

But I am not sure what to look for.  I think that the above *.sfx list of 
modules in the documentation is probably the result of compilation and 
therefore won't be found in the source tar file.  The build log shows only 
7zCon.sfx being installed:

>>> /usr/lib64/p7zip/7zCon.sfx


These are my USE flags:

Calculating dependencies... done!
