11 This is not, in the general case, a good idea. This will enable the
12 static-libs USE flag for *every* package except those that have an
13 explicit -static-libs flag specified. This will populate /usr/lib
14 and /lib with a plethora of *.a files that will never be used.
15
16 The static-libs USE flag should only be enabled on a case-by-case
17 basis, by specifying the package(s) in /etc/portage/package.use.
