Turn off the test USE flag and you don't get static libs.
I want test but I don't want static-libs, what we do?
Patches welcome. :)
(In reply to comment #3) > Patches welcome. :) So not close as INVALID, for me is valid.
My point was upstream currently requires static libraries to be built if building tests. Anyway I've added REQUIRED_USE to make it more explicit.
