You are reading it wrong. That means: |
| 45 |
util-linux needs to be built with USE="static-libs" |
| 46 |
because |
| 47 |
lvm2 is already built with USE="static" |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
None of which explains why you originally built lvm2 that way. |

This has nothing to do with genkernel. |

More than likely, you followed some daft advice on teh intarwebz saying |
| 70 |
you need a static lvm to be able to boot / on lvm. |
