Description Nikoli 2013-10-11 13:38:36 UTC

Now python package installs one of the biggest static libs, please make it optional.

# equery f python|grep '\.a$'
/usr/lib64/libpython2.7.a
# du -sh /usr/lib64/libpython2.7.a
3,2M    /usr/lib64/libpython2.7.a
# equery l python

Provide a patch to disable building the static libs, or add it to INSTALL_MASK. I'm not doing rm *.a in src_install.
