Flag	Description	6.5_p20251220	6.5_p20250802	6.5_p20250531-r1	6.5_p20250329
ada	Add bindings for the Ada programming language	✓	✓	✓	✓
cxx	Build support for C++ (bindings, extra libraries, code generation, ...)	⊕	⊕	⊕	⊕
debug	Enable extra debug codepaths, like asserts and extra output. If you want to get meaningful backtraces see https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Quality_Assurance/Backtraces	✓	✓	✓	✓
doc	Add extra documentation (API, Javadoc, etc). It is recommended to enable per package instead of globally	✓	✓	✓	✓
gpm	Add support for sys-libs/gpm (Console-based mouse driver)	✓	✓	✓	✓
minimal	Install a very minimal build (disables, for example, plugins, fonts, most drivers, non-critical features)	✓	✓	✓	✓
profile	Add support for software performance analysis (will likely vary from ebuild to ebuild)	✓	✓	✓	✓
split-usr	Enable behavior to support maintaining /bin, /lib, /sbin and /usr/sbin separately from /usr/bin and /usr/lib	✓	✓	✓	✓
stack-realign	Realign the stack in the 32-bit build for compatibility with older binaries at some performance cost. Avoids crashes in older 32-bit binaries. Only affects x86/32-bit multilib builds on amd64.	⊕	⊕	⊕	⊕
static-libs	Build static versions of dynamic libraries as well	✓	✓	✓	✓
test	Enable dependencies and/or preparations necessary to run tests (usually controlled by FEATURES=test but can be toggled independently)	✓	✓	✓	✓
tinfo	Build curses library (libncurses) sep from the low-level terminfo library (libtinfo) -- usually needed only for binary packages -- but it is binary compatible in either mode	✓	✓	✓	✓
trace	Enable test trace() support in ncurses calls	✓	✓	✓	✓
