Description giessie 2007-05-16 07:51:12 UTC

USE="static" emerge e2fsprogs DOESN'T produce static binary. 


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.USE="static" emerge e2fsprogs
2.ldd blkid


Actual Results:  
ldd reports dynamic libraries, blkid doesn't work in initramfs.

Expected Results:  
Get a statically linked executable

removing --enable-elf-shlibs in src_compile in the ebuild would solve the problem, BUT then compiling fails, because there are no static versons of libss on the system.

USE=static in e2fsprogs has always been just for e2fsck

post a patch if you want all binaries

I've added a bit for autogenerated files to avoid depending on autotools.eclass for prefix sake.
