Hey Benny!   
      
    BP> its gentoo ?   
      
   its medevil.  I used to have one called minevil until gcc-4.7.x became   
   abandonware.  That was the last version where g++ wasn't a requirement.   
      
    BP> python use flags is depricated   
      
   python as a dependency should be avoided methinks.   
      
    BP> and now gcc 6.4 is minimal compiler   
      
   I think you still can get away with gcc-5 but I doubt for very long.  Maybe   
   another year or two.  Which gcc version are you currently using?   
      
   ---- ":read !gcc --version" starts   
   gcc (GCC) 7.2.0

   I notice that glibc-2.26 breaks a few things.  Nothing that I am using at the   
   moment.   
      
   Life is good,
