This is not, in the general case, a good idea.  This will enable the
static-libs USE flag for *every* package except those that have an
explicit -static-libs flag specified.  This will populate /usr/lib
and /lib with a plethora of *.a files that will never be used.

The static-libs USE flag should only be enabled on a case-by-case
basis, by specifying the package(s) in /etc/portage/package.use.
