Steps to reproduce: 1. env USE=-static emerge siproxd 2. file /usr/sbin/siproxd Actual results: /usr/sbin/siproxd: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.6.9, statically linked, stripped Expected results: /usr/sbin/siproxd: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.6.9, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped The problem is in the configure script. It is broken and misunderstands --disable-static. A workaround is to drop $(use_enable static) from the ebuild and use $(use static && echo --enable-static) instead.
Fixed in 0.7.0
