I run something like this before I disabled it for busybox in package.use. It is enabled system-wide. And I think that it is was enabled in the desktop/gnome profile from which I started my Gentoo installation about one and a half years ago. Later, I switched to xfce4 but was afraid to switch the profile and recompile everything. So, both pam and static use flags has been set by default in the gnome profile, and then suddenly busybox started to complain about it.
