Description Martin von Gagern 2004-10-23 00:18:26 UTC

dd-rescue is one package I would like to compile statically, because as soon as I need it, my glibc might not be reliable any more.

I beliebe the dependency on sed entered the ebuild at the same time that the ebuild no longer used sed. So I'd say to remove this again.

Reproducible: Always

You should be using flag-o-matic for that kind of thing.

yes, the correct fix would be:

use static && append-ldflags -static

please test that
