These are 5 packages out of 845 on my system. For those with version number=
 it=20
is only a compile time error, when make errornously tries to build a static=
=20
target. Those without number are needed static by another package or don't=
=20
like --disable-static (sys-apps/ed). That leaves 2 out of 845.
So I'm with Ciaran here: It works for almost all packages and makes at leas=
t=20
some difference. Maybe enough to (really) give the users the choice (withou=
t=20
the ugly EXTRA_ECONF-hack)?

Those links Jakub posted are interesting, but I don't find an explanation w=
hy=20
this decission was made. Maybe you have a link to that discussion too?
