Also add -N, otherwise USE flags changes will be ignored if no update or rebuild, and add --with-bdeps y if you don't want to miss updates for packages pulled an build-only deps, so use `-DNuavt --with-bdeps y'. "vt" here is optional and affects only on-screen output. Best regards, Andrew Savchenko
