with sci-libs/openblas-0.3.9-r1 you got the libopenblas.a file in /usr/lib64 with sci-libs/openblas-0.3.13 there are only the .so files/symlinks (regardless if you set eselect-ldso or not) some programs demand the static lib, e.g. GAMESS please provide the static lib again. current workaround is to compile the source manually. Thanks! Reproducible: Always

Is there a reason you need it?
(In reply to Florian D. from comment #0) > some programs demand the static lib, e.g. GAMESS Are you sure? I don't see anything about static libs in https://cgit.gentoo.org/proj/sci.git/tree/sci-chemistry/gamess Not that I've tried to build given the fetch restrictions. Either way, static-libs support doesn't get added to ebuilds without a very good reason (typically only for rescue tools, or if no shared version exists).
(In reply to Ionen Wolkens from comment #3) I compile GAMESS from source, the gentoo version is a bit outdated (upstream is changing the file without version number, so quite a mess for distribution packagers, file size/checksum will fail frequently, but this is off topic here) the GAMESS install script demands the static lib... (perhaps a "static" USE flag would be favourable?) thanks.

(In reply to David Seifert from comment #5) Indeed, I've found another install method, wich accepts the dynamic libs. my use-case is solved, the bug can be closed :) but the initial idea from upstream was to faciliate the use of render-farms, so you can provide one executable and distribute it to the nodes without having to install openblas to each node. I think there is a reason why other math-libs have a "static-libs" USE flag, too, e.g. sci-libs/mkl, sci-libs/atlas

The actual performance impact is not a black and white issue, and static linking has many other downsides. As far as Gentoo goes, we were less aggressive about the USE flag in the past, so many of them crept in for no good reason.
