Trying to build USE=static sys-fs/mdadm fails when a recent sys-fs/udev is installed because sys-fs/udev no longer provides a libudev.a: ... /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/10.3.1/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -ludev ... collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [Makefile:196: mdadm] Error 1 Static libudev.a was removed from sys-fs/udev a few months ago, and static+udev USE flag combination removed from various udev consumer packages here: https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/22217 ...But mdadm was missed in the mass cleanup, probably because mdadm never declared a dependency on udev. sys-fs/eudev does still have a static-libs USE flag, but mdadm static linking against eudev's libudev.a currently fails (but that's another story). Currently the only way to get a static mdadm is to build without udev support at all, except that the mdadm ebuild lacks a knob for that (see https://bugs.gentoo.org/830461)
(In reply to Hank Leininger from comment #0) > sys-fs/eudev does still have a static-libs USE flag, but mdadm static > linking against eudev's libudev.a currently fails (but that's another story). Turns out to be a related story... eudev (and udev) has a function called in_initrd. So does mdadm, but with a different function prototype. When trying to build mdadm linked statically against eudev's libudev.a, it fails with: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/10.3.1/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/10.3.1/../../../../lib64/libudev.a(util.o): in function `in_initrd': util.c:(.text+0x2e80): multiple definition of `in_initrd'; util.o:util.c:(.text+0x4850): first defined here Workaround is to rename mdadm's copy. It doesn't install a library so I don't think anything will notice or care about the rename.
