The ebuild removes the static library after the fact breaking the generated cmake target Check::check. https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/dev-libs/check/check-0.15.2-r1.ebuild?id=ad806778f682f6cd766327c653c460dc4534bf4e#n58 Output from a build system that tried to invoke `find_package ( CHECK 0.11.0 QUIET )` CMake Error at /usr/lib64/cmake/check/check-targets.cmake:101 (message): The imported target "Check::check" references the file "/usr/lib64/libcheck.a" but this file does not exist.

So uhh, check needs 'static-libs' use flag then?
Or they just get installed unconditionally without any use flags. Use flags should have a rhyme and reason and here the avoidance of static libs is causing more harm than good.
