The systemd profiles have static/static-libs in package.use.mask for many packages, claiming that systemd does not support USE=static-libs. All systemd ebuilds define static-libs, and they seem to work. I've tried to build a few of the packages listed in package.use.mask with systemd and udev set everywhere, and they mostly worked. The flashrom package failed to test libusb, and lvm2 seems to be missing -lcap when device-mapper-only is unset. I think it would be preferable to have something like REQUIRED_USE="systemd? ( static? ( device-mapper-only ) )" in that case rather than mask things, since dmsetup.static is what I actually need anyway. It looks like the entire package.use.mask file could be deleted since its stated reason for existence was the lack of systemd[static-libs]. Remaining build issues in the listed packages could probably be handled individually as they are reported.
