The static-libs USE flag is missing. SDL_STATIC is just set to no.

This is intentional, removed in [1] -- see also [2]'s "Packages must not install static libraries unless they are explicitly required, either by themselves or their reverse dependencies", adding IUSE=static-libs is only done when there is a specific reason to.
