own system I will be removing that line from the pam ebuild in my local overlay, but I'm not sure what the proper solution to this is. I would think the static linker files should remain so that the 'static' use flag can be used for things that link against libpam (quite a lot afaict). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. on an amd64 system attempt to emerge neon (or anything requiring neon) 2. wait for it... 3. oops... ebuild done broked
Install gentoolkit and run: revdep-rebuild -i -- -a And you should be good. The comment from the pam ebuild you quoted is quite accurate.
