Created attachment 908809 [details] build.log.xz build log and emerge --info (compressed because it exceeds attachment limit, use 'xzless' to read it)
Upstream has a restriction requiring static libraries. The build fails when static libraries are disabled. There is an explicit "--enable-static" set when econf is ran.
Question - At this point in time, upstream requires the '--enable-static'. How should I update the ebuild to satisfy the QA check? For example, I could add +static-libs to the USE, and then produce an warning or error out if '-static-libs' is specified.
I think the QA warning is indeed invalid here. I don't think the warning is in portage.git or gentoo.git's metadata/install-qa-check.d, so ago just needs to add it to an ignore list (correct me if I'm wrong), rather than us invent a variable to suppress it.

Thanks for letting me know.
