$ equery u qt | grep -i thread
<nothing>

I assume therefore that qt doesn't have a threads use flag.  Also, a
better way to specify a use flag than on the command line is
in /etc/portage/package.use.

If you say `emerge -va blah` you will see the use flags available, and
get prompted if you want to continue installing.  quicker than `emerge
-p blah; emerge blah`
