This package installs also static libs ".a" please provide do add relative USE. TIA /usr/lib/libcrypto.a /usr/lib/libssl.a /usr/lib/libssl.so /usr/lib/libcrypto.so /usr/lib/libssl.so.1.0.0 /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.1.0.0
i've added USE=static-libs to delete the archives in openssl-1.0.0e-r1. the build system always builds these libs as PIC, so there's currently no build logic to "disable". at some point this should get fixed, but that's unrelated to USE=static-libs support.
