Building qemu with the static-user USE flag fails during configure failing to find zlib. Re-emerging zlib with the static-libs USE flag fixes this problem, therefore it should be a dependency when compiling qemu with static-user. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge sys-libs/zlib USE=-static-libs 2. emerge app-emulation/qem USE=static-user 3.
static-user doesn't need static zlib, but static-softmmu does. the deps are correct, but the configure logic might need tweaking.
