1 well, I manually removed "--with-shared" from the ebuild's

12 I was trying to emerge ncurses on an older AIX 5.2 system, and it fails with the following:
13
14
15 checking if rpath option should be used... no
16 checking if release/abi version should be used for shared libs... auto
17 checking which powerpc-ibm-aix5.2.0.0-gcc option to use... -fPIC
18 configure: error: Shared libraries are not supported in this version
