[edit] Resolving USE Flags

What will happen if a package on the package server was compiled with a different set of USE flags than the client wants? Will emerge attempt to install the package anyway and ignore the USE flags?

I use the "-g" option. Using this option, I know USE flags are compared between the server & client. If a use flag option differs, the package will be rebuilt on the client. (man emerge: --getbinpkg/-g)
You can force "only use binary packages without rebuilding" using the "-G" option. I have no idea how "-k" resolves USE flags.
