By bad migration (despite warning beforehand it on IRC) to autotools-utils.eclass, the package still installs libtool files (.la) despite the package having pkg-config (.pc) file. The Libs.private needs to be proper for static linking and the .la files should always get deleted Please don't make me review every commit like this.
Right now, .pc file misses libs required for static linking. This will be fixed as soon as I get .pc fix upstream ;P.
So not a CANTFIX then, will keep open until the fix hits portage No need to hide broken packages by closing bugs
Ok, USE=static-libs removed now that autotools-utils does its job good!
