I have a QT program that's supposed to run on a server. I never liked the idea of putting all this QT runtime crap on the server just for this single program, so when it still ran SuSE, I just compiled it statically and all was fine. Now under Gentoo, the program complains it couldn't open the display (yes, I'm using ssh -X and other X programs are fine). So I thought maybe it's the switch from XF86 to X.org, can't hurt to recompile with the latest libraries. But there are no static libraries (libqt.a and such) installed and I don't know how to get portage to install them. USE=static seems to work only for linking certain programs statically, not the libs itself. I'm probably overlooking something very obvious...
