I don't see any harm with including IUSE="static-libs" for every package that has working/usable static libraries[1]. Why wait for users to request it on bugzilla when it's a near-zero-cost and zero-maintenance to add it to ebuilds? 1. An example of something with unusable static libraries: anything that links to libX11 (if I'm not wrong). -- ~Nirbheek Chauhan Gentoo GNOME+Mozilla Team
