I don't know about a static one, but versions since |
10 |
dev-lang/tcl-8.5.15-r1 are multilib-enabled through the abi_x86_64 use |
11 |
flag (or the related ABI_X86 use_expand) in testing arches. |

Unfortunately, this capability is presently difficult to leverage on |
14 |
stable arches, particularly because the dependency on multilib zlib |
15 |
which (indirectly through blockers) turns this into an all-or-nothing |
16 |
affair unless you can live without multilib variants of the other |
17 |
libraries that have until now been provided by the |
18 |
emul-linux-x86-baselibs package. |

For your requirements, I would suggest you rather build tcl yourself |
21 |
for your development and leave the gentoo packaged version for use with |
22 |
other packages that use it. |
