Description Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-09-12 15:48:12 UTC 
The package is using pkg-config for it's libraries:

/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/ini_config.pc
/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/ref_array.pc
/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/collection.pc
/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/dhash.pc
/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/path_utils.pc

So all these are unnecessary, even with USE=static-libs:

/usr/lib64/libini_config.la
/usr/lib64/libref_array.la
/usr/lib64/libcollection.la
/usr/lib64/libdhash.la
/usr/lib64/libpath_utils.la

Should be using the 'all' argument in remove_libtool_files() from autotools-utils.eclass

Comment 1 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-09-12 15:51:09 UTC 
It might be good idea to ensure "Libs.private: " is properly set in .pc files before proceeding for static linking.
Or if upstream has left it out on purpose, stating static linking to ding-libs is not supported, perhaps --disable-static unconditionally is in order.
Or if upstream defaults to --enable-static, then patch to configure.{ac,in} is in order to pass AC_DISABLE_STATIC or LT_INIT([disable-static]) when initializing libtool:
