  • cet - Enable Intel Control-flow Enforcement Technology.
  • debuginfod - Enable debuginfod support via dev-libs/elfutils libdebuginfod
  • default-gold - Set ld to point to ld.gold instead of ld.bfd
  • doc - Add extra documentation (API, Javadoc, etc). It is recommended to enable per package instead of globally
  • gold - Build ld.gold linker
  • gprofng - Enable the next-generation gprofng profiler
  • hardened - Activate default security enhancements for toolchain (gcc, glibc, binutils)

  • pgo - Build binutils with Profile Guided Optimization (PGO) and LTO
  • plugins - Enable plugin support in tools
  • 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)
  • vanilla - Do not add extra patches which change default behaviour; DO NOT USE THIS ON A GLOBAL SCALE as the severity of the meaning changes drastically
  • zstd - Enable support for ZSTD compression
