You can set USE flags in /etc/make.conf for each of them.

hmm..but when i upgraded from 4.3.0 to 4.3.1, i didn't have to specify the USE flags for the support...

Last time I checked, the PHP ebuilds were VERY SCREWY in that use gd will make it use GD 1.8x (not 2.x because they don't like it for some freaky reason). I hacked my ebuild to use bundled gd2 and the newer freetype libs.

works great!

how'd you hack the ebuild for that? and once you hacked it, how'd you get the ebuild to use the new file?

I just DON'T LIKE old libraries.

you can also modify the package.mask file to unmask the newer libraries
