This seems to be the last package in Gentoo using USE=bootstrap in its original meaning. However, I don't think it's actually used, is it? Can we remove it, please? I'm trying to get rid of obsolete flags from use.desc.
This particular bit is still in use when bootstrapping powerpc-apple-darwin9 target. The essential bit is autoconf not being installed yet, thus disallowing to re-generate for the fixed scenario. Can we make the flag local, or rename it in it's local form?
Yeah, making it local sounds good. Please adjust the description while at it, if necessary.

I made it local, didn't remove from use.desc as its still in use by dev-lang/gnat-gpl/gnat-gpl-2016-r3.ebuild.
