Well, the notion of "what USE flags the -bin version was built with" can be a complex one because the binary package may have been built on a non-Gentoo system and linked against "who knows what" libraries. It's simple to ignore a few broken dynamic links as long as the software remains functional. Zac -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
