Motivation being: boost is no longer lightweight c++ template library and typical boost library size is bigger than average KDE4 shared lib. A few problems I spotted is with eselect (but that's understood) and in ebuild ("creating symlinks" part) "Previously selected profile: default Removing symlinks from old version Found a matching profile "default" for the new version. Creating symlinks for boost-1.41/default !!! Error: "/usr/lib64/libboost_thread-1_41.a" listed as target does not exist exiting" Please consider incrementally removing static libs creation - as most sane build systems pick shared libs over static ones anyway, installing .a files is mostly utterly pointless now.

This has already been done for the upcoming 1.42 ebuild. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 301643 ***
