Unless I made a mistake in the ebuild, this is a bug upstream. I'll check.
I see. Even so cuda is disabled a libspqr_cuda.{so,a} is produced. Similarly with cholmod in #908858. This is definitely an upstream bug.
It is linked to issue https://github.com/DrTimothyAldenDavis/SuiteSparse/issues/285 upstream. I'll track it from there and backport/patch from discussion there.
I have a patch for this and I can write one for cholmod at #908858 - I'll see what upstream makes of it.
There is actually a fix for this in upstream dev branch that is a bit like my patch. I'll backport.
