Gentoo's sys-libs/glibc is "resistant" to many use flags, I am still 
trying to guess where this could be overridden. Recently I tried to 
compile it with "hardened" use flag, which wouldn't suceed until setting 
the portage profile to a hardened one. Seems like the system is 
protecting the user from messing around with the core libraries and the 
toolchain.

Another flag which seems to be overridden is "nls" so it could 
definitely be that your glibc build still includes that.

Just try
# emerge --info
and take a look at the listing of active useflags somewhere at the 
bottom of the output.

If you have app-portage/gentoolkit installed, try
# equery uses sys-libs/glibc
to see which use flags apply to your current glibc build.

Greetings!
