$ equery u qt | grep -i thread
<nothing>

I assume therefore that qt doesn't have a threads use flag. Also, a better way to specify a use flag than on the command line is in /etc/portage/package.use.

If you say `emerge -va blah` you will see the use flags available, and get prompted if you want to continue installing. quicker than `emerge -p blah; emerge blah`
