same issue here it's the fault of the libassuan-2.0.0 ebuild, it does not include the static version of the library adding --enable-static to libassuans configure script, static gnupg builds again
dev-libs/libassuan-2.0.0 now has "static-libs" USE flag. app-crypt/gnupg-2.0.15 with USE="static" depends on >=dev-libs/libassuan-2[static-libs].
