Created attachment 910225 [details] build.log After disabling debug USE, emerge -ac will automatically remove dev-util/pahole, and then the build will fail after customizing savedconfig.

Not sure if I'm missing something, but isn't that PEBKAC? i.e. We can't know what's inside the savedconfig, it could be anything, we can't modify dependencies based on it?

You can apply the same argument to adding everything to *DEPEND that a user might add to savedconfig?

Shouldn't the user customize the vanilla kernel, or should the user handle dependencies caused by customization themselves? If it's the latter, then I think it can be closed.

If you use savedconfig, you must manage any dependencies yourself.
