    USE=debug is problematic...Emerging certain packages (nano for 
example) with USE=debug breaks the program completely, mostly due to the 
fact that the DEBUG flag does non-standard things.  Some packages append 
-g to the CFLAGS with use debug, some just add in --enable-debug to 
configure, and yet others do other weird stuff.  I know there was a 
discussion about the DEBUG flag and how crappy it is on the -dev list, 
it may be a hack, but it's certainly not a 'supported' or good way to 
stop the stripping of flags.
