Description Denis Lisov 2012-01-12 07:44:46 UTC

The imagemagick's static-libs USE flag does not prevent multiple static libraries from being installed when disabled.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. USE="-static-libs" emerge -1 imagemagick
2. equery f imagemagick | egrep '\.la'
Actual Results:  
112 static libraries in total. 109 of them are in the modules folder; the other three are libMagick++.la, libMagickCore.la, libMagickWand.la.

Expected Results:  
No static libraries, everything built into the dynamic libraries.

You are confusing libtool archive(s) (.la) with static archive(s) (.a)
ImageMagick always needs .la for the libltdl and module loading
