It is gentoo policy that libs install dynamic versions in addition to static versions of themselves unless if there is some good reason for static linking. This library is very small and many of the functions could be implemented as function, but it should conform to the policy.

 $ qlist liblist
/usr/lib/liblist.a
/usr/share/man/man3/llist.3.bz2
/usr/share/man/man3/lstack.3.bz2
/usr/share/man/man3/lqueue.3.bz2
/usr/include/queue.h
/usr/include/stack.h
/usr/include/list.h

That's probably because that's all this package ever had, but now it does have a lemony-fresh shared lib (try the new revision).
