Are there actually packages out there that do this? Maybe busybox with USE="static"? BTW: Another reason for rebuilding (not in this case, but just to be complete) can be updates in template libraries like dev-libs/boost. Of course, this cannot happen for things written in plain C, unless we consider sys-kernel/linux-headers and friends, for example. Regards, Florian Philipp
