The freetype zlib configure flag switches between system and internal zlib, but use flags are to switch optional features on and off. Shared libs should always be used for security considerations.
i fixed this in 2.3.5-r2. looks like it's due for stabilization. arches, please test and stablize media-libs/freetype-2.3.5-r2 media-libs/freetype: | s | p p | p a x | c r 8 | - c 6 | a a p m s - - | l m h i m m p a s p f f | p d a p a 6 i p c c 3 a b x b | h 6 r p 6 8 p p 6 o 9 s r s 8 s | a 4 m a 4 k s c 4 s 0 h c d 6 d ----------+-----------------------------v-- 2.3.3 | ~ + + + + + + + + + + + + ~ [2] 2.3.4-r2 | + + + + + + ~ + + + + + + ~ [2] 2.3.5-r2 | ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ [2]

(In reply to comment #1) > i fixed this in 2.3.5-r2. Will zlib be stated as system library in all profiles forever?! It's better to state it explicitly in the ebuild. Also the internal check is if test x$with_zlib != xno && test -n "$LIBZ"; then so when $LIBZ is empty for some odd reason, the internal zlib will be used. Please overwrite the internal zlib header file with some error message so the build will fail, instead silently doing wrong.
alpha/ia64/sparc stable removing bsd since they don't have stable keyword
ppc64 stable
amd64 stable
Stable for HPPA.
