Isn't this actually a bug? Some people believe that IUSE=static-libs should be always used, I think, and they consider that to be a Gentoo policy. I believe that this is pointless to add it to every single library noone will ever use as static. I do add them when it's simple (i.e. with autotools-utils) and I know the package is supposed to work when linked statically. Otherwise, I'd just wait for someone to request static-libs support, much like we don't keyword ahead. -- Best regards, Michał Górny
