Description Toralf Förster gentoo-dev 2016-02-18 18:48:17 UTC
Especially ie. for the glibc CVE this week the ebuild should emit an ewarn to run something like

  eix --compact --installed-with-use static
  eix --compact --installed-with-use static-libs

as mentioned in https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1039150-highlight-.html

Ehm. Well, that's why static libs are discouraged. There's a limit on how much we can prevent anyone from shooting himself in the foot with Gentoo.
