Description Jonathan Coome (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-01-14 05:51:10 UTC 
My understanding of USE flags was that they enabled optional functionality in packages, and that if a program required something to work it would be installed automatically. However, if you don't have emul-linux-x86 in your USE flags, emul-linux-x86-baselibs won't be pulled in as a dependency, which means that sunbird won't start. 

Since the only way sunbird-bin will work on amd64 is if you have emul-linux-x86-{baselibs,gtklibs} installed, I don't think it makes sense for them to be optional dependencies...
