But portage *does*. I think it does build static libs for packages that
provide them, it's just that I don't think many do (for the reasons I
mentioned in the previous post). In fact:
$ equery l \*| while read l; do equery f $l|grep '\.a$' | \
sed 's/^/'"${l/"/"/\\/} "'-> /' ; done |wc -l
Shows I have 756 static libs on my system (cut off the "|wc -l" to see
what they are).
