just adding static would be problematic since you don't have will not have some libraries you'd link as static (e.g. pulse)

Comment 3 Leonid Evdokimov 2010-03-01 11:25:14 UTC

Ghm, maybe. I don't use pulse myself.

What is best way to check if all required libraries have static version?

qlist $package | grep \\.a come to mind, probably there is a better way.

I'll provide an EXTRA_ECONF-like variable for such usage. probably would be better trigger a static build just for the user qemu. You might want to discuss that with upstream.

app-emulation/qemu now supports USE=static.
