static-libs added to the overlay for 5.5.35+
Closing as 5.5.37 was added to the tree.
...well... The thing is, unless I'm missing something, it's not really fixed. Yes, it's likely (as I only looked at the overlay commits) fixed for cmake based releases. However, 5.1 are still autotools based. In the eclass, there's this odd snippet: if use static ; then myconf="${myconf} --with-client-ldflags=-all-static" myconf="${myconf} --disable-shared --with-pic" else myconf="${myconf} --enable-shared --enable-static" fi Is there a reason behind it or should that line actually simply be '--disable-static' ? So, OK, this useflag seems to have a bit different purpose (static server), yet in such case, 'static-libs' should be added beside it.
