just to review ... `use_with pic` should never be used because if you dont 
have 'pic' in your USE flags, the ebuild will run `./configure 
--without-pic` ... that means libtool will try to produce shared and static 
libraries with object files which were built without PIC ... on many arches 
(like amd64), the linker will abort

btw, where do you get this information ?  my tests show that libtool still 
compiles all files twice even though --with-pic was used ...
