Hm, i have in build output
./configure --prefix=/usr --build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --host=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib --libdir=/usr/lib64 --disable-dependency-tracking --disable-setuid-install --enable-setcap-install --disable-wireshark --enable-ipv6 --disable-profile-build --with-libcap --without-gcrypt --without-geoip --without-krb5 --without-lua --with-dumpcap-group=wireshark --with-pcap --without-portaudio --without-python --without-libsmi --with-gnutls --with-zlib --disable-extra-gcc-checks --disable-usr-local --sysconfdir=/etc/wireshark

It seems that all variables, set by myconf in ebuild are just ignored! That's a bunch of automagic, i think... :-/

Nope, i was wrong. It does not add anything only when both libadns and adns USE flags are disabled, which leads to automagic behaviour
