We aren't supposed to modify CFLAGS directly in ebuilds. Any chance you could rewrite it using the flag-o-matic eclass?

You mean something like this?

[Comment 4 Daniel Drake (RETIRED) 2006-01-22 10:15:40 UTC]

I looked at some ebuilds under app-shells which have a static USE flag and they use append-ldflags instead of append-flags. Can you try making that change and confirm that it still links statically?

with append-ldflags all work fine.
