Qemu static build is useful for debugging ARM software in ARM-chroot. Example is described at http://wiki.debian.org/QemuUserEmulation Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
Created attachment 219201 [details, diff] adding IUSE="static"
just adding static would be problematic since you don't have will not have some libraries you'd link as static (e.g. pulse)
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.
