[gentoo-user] How and whether to take action on elog message from sys-fs/lvm2-2.02.73

[Kevin O'Gorman]

I read the logs, but it doesn't always help.  This one apparently used to
build statically,
and is now using shared libraries.  Here's the message:
=======================================================
*Subject:* [portage] ebuild log for sys-fs/lvm2-2.02.73 on
treat.kosmanor.com

LOG: setup
Warning, we no longer overwrite /sbin/lvm and /sbin/dmsetup with
their static versions. If you need the static binaries,
you must append .static the filename!
=======================================================
**
It's not clear to me that I would need this package when dynamically loading
is inactive,
partly because I don't think that happens -- /usr/lib is not on a separate
partition, so
it's always there.

Leaving that aside, the message does not state *which* filename to append
".static" to,
and where to change it, so I'm baffled as to how to take action on this
message, even
if I thought it important to do.

Anyone have a clue?
