The package has no local description for its bindist USE-flag. This leaves the end-user guessing at what is specifically done. This is *bad*. Users who care enough about licensing and distribution etc. will probably want to know what is specifically going on. For a good example of how to do this, see www-client/firefox.

Done, thanks for catching it.  It reads:

<use>
  <flag name="bindist">Disable automatic fine-tuning to local                                                             
  processor features like pclmul or sse2.</flag>
</use>
