--with-bdeps < y | n >
              In dependency calculations, pull in build time dependencies
              that are not strictly required. This defaults to ´n´ for
              installation actions, meaning they will not be installed, and
              ´y´ for the --depclean action, meaning they will not be
              removed.  This setting can be added to EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS
              (see make.conf(5)) and later overridden via the command line.

This has been in portage for a while.
