The problem is not the ebuilds, it's the shell scripts that are 
distributed along with source packages.

Having a dynamic bash is not really a problem, most distributions do it. 
The only problem is cleanly updating glic, ncurses, readline libraries 
without segfaulting the dyn bash. It's on my todo to find a solution for 
this, but currently I'm living with a half crashed hd at home and 
awaiting the replacement before I can really resume the development.
