In this case, the issue is purportedly that the headers get generated |
| 10 |
differently, depending on whether you build static or dynamic. |

I don't think too much, unless I have to, about what kind of |
| 13 |
libtool/gcc/gentoo magic makes it all possible, but by and large, static |
| 14 |
and dynamic libraries "just work" in my overlay. So if gentoo-prefix |
| 15 |
would create both static and dynamic for a given library on elf, the |
| 16 |
same thing happens in my overlay (I mean that this typically happens |
| 17 |
without any hand-holding, on my part, to make it work). |

euse -i says: |

static - !!do not set this during bootstrap!! Causes binaries |

to be statically linked instead of dynamically |

Pretty sure I've done the right thing in my overlay by masking, but it |
| 28 |
can't hurt to mention that I'm always happy to hear any suggestions or |
| 29 |
ideas (although of course I reserve the right to politely decide that |
| 30 |
your ideas are crap and ignore them :P). |

My reasoning for the flag-mask is that Gentoo always builds the dynamic |
| 33 |
libs for these packages and therefore so should my overlay. Unless I |
| 34 |
fix the underlying conflict or implement some kind of side-by-side |
| 35 |
scheme (a la libncursesw), I really have no choice but to forbid |
| 36 |
building statically (note that cygports adopts the same solution). |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
Masking the use-flag for the affected atoms accomplishes this |
| 39 |
prohibition exactly, exclusively, and without any kludge (except |
| 40 |
unfortunately I still have to patch the e-build, as, for some goofy |
| 41 |
reason, configure doesn't interpret the static/dynamic options the same |
| 42 |
way after applying the cygports patches -- hopefully I can fix that just |
| 43 |
by leaving some patches out; I just haven't gotten to it yet). |
