[gentoo-user] Xorg and static libraries

[Steve Brenneis]

I had problems with Xorg 6.8.2 and a duplicate symbol in libbitmap.a.
This was a well-known problem and the two most popular fixes seemed to
be to switch gcc to the non-hardened version or to rebuild Xorg with the
"static" use flag. I chose the latter and all was well.

Now that the Xorg ebuild has been modularized, the problem is back. Now
I have a dilemma. I tried building every package in x11-lib with the
"static" USE flag, but no joy was to be had. I resorted to non-hardened
gcc and rebuilt the whole thing, still no joy.

Any ideas? I have three other Gentoo systems, but I'm not upgrading X
until I understand what is going on here. I'd greatly prefer not to have
to resort to XFree86.

Thanks
