Does anyone knows about emerge --inject equivalent? Inject was used to
tell (lie to) portage that some package is installed alhough it is
not.

What I was to trying to do is to avoid recompilation of the whole
glibc because new flag fas been added to CROSSCOMPILE_OPTIONS.
emerge -uDN world keeps me bugging that I should recompile glibc.

The same story applies to different packages. If new USE flag is added
which I don't use anyways, I still have to recompile the same version
of package because emerge bugs me to do it.

Does anyone knows how to avoid unnecessary recompilation in this case?

Or should I open new bug to change default behaviour of emerge -N flag
for new USE flags which are not used anyways?

Thanks,
Marko
