net-misc/openssh only gets linked statically against libcrypto, not against all the other libs: p15138336 x # tar -xjf /usr/portage/packages/All/openssh-3.7.1_p2-r1.tbz2 ./usr/bin/ssh bzip2: (stdin): trailing garbage after EOF ignored p15138336 x # ldd usr/bin/ssh libutil.so.1 => /lib/libutil.so.1 (0x4001c000) libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0x4001f000) libnsl.so.1 => /lib/libnsl.so.1 (0x4002d000) libcrypt.so.1 => /lib/libcrypt.so.1 (0x40042000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4006f000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000) I need a statically linked ssh for a chroot. It will contain the libs needed for DNS access (glibc is broken - even if linked statically, it dlopen()'s some NSS stuff), but nothing more. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. USE=static emerge --buildpkgonly openssh 2. tar -xjf /usr/portage/packages/All/openssh-3.7.1_p2-r1.tbz2 ./usr/bin/ssh 3. ldd ./usr/sbin/ssh Actual Results: p15138336 x # ldd usr/bin/ssh libutil.so.1 => /lib/libutil.so.1 (0x4001c000) libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0x4001f000) libnsl.so.1 => /lib/libnsl.so.1 (0x4002d000) libcrypt.so.1 => /lib/libcrypt.so.1 (0x40042000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4006f000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000) Expected Results: p15138336 x # ldd usr/bin/ssh not a dynamic executable Gentoo Base System version 1.4.3.10p1 Portage 2.0.50 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.3.2, glibc-2.3.2-r9, 2.4.20-thorsten-1) ================================================================= System uname: 2.4.20-thorsten-1 i686 Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 2.00GHz Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.58 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.7.7 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=i686 -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="gcc3" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/config /var/qmail/alias /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=i686 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs ccache sandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mirrors.sec.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/gentoo ftp://sunsite.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/pub/Linux/gentoo ftp://ftp.easynet.nl/mirror/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.tu-clausthal.de/pub/linux/gentoo/" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="apm berkdb crypt encode esd foomaticdb gdbm gif gtk2 imlib ipv6 jpeg libg++ libwww mad mikmod mpeg mysql ncurses nls oggvorbis pam pdflib perl png python readline slang spell ssl truetype x86 xml2 zlib"
