I went through the package.use file and commented out the static and
static-libs stuff.  It seems happy but thing is, when I put them there,
they were needed for some reason.  Actually, all the parts I found had
the output of where emerge said those were needed.  Maybe the reason
they were needed then has changed and they are no longer needed.  I hope
anyway.  ;-)

Thanks.  I'm not sure I would have ever figured out that it was that
causing the problem.  That got pretty deep.
