Code: | # USE="-ncurses" emerge grub |
or
Code: | # echo "sys-boot/grub -ncurses" >> /etc/portage/package.use && emerge grub |
I've no idea what the result will be.

Hi,
if you do that echo you will wipe your package.use.
At which point depending on your defaults emerge might do even more damage. |

Isn't it an empty file on a new install anyway?
I'll edit it. |

I'll edit it. | New installs may not ship with it, but users may have already populated it while installing other packages. Some readers may happen upon your advice when trying to switch to an affected GRUB version after installing their systems. |

Static linking might be an option as well. |
