On my gentoo box I've been getting this whenever I want to compile the 
static targets of QEMU.  There is no libasound.a in /usr/lib.  The 
alsa package does not make a static version of it.  I've emailed the 
ebuild maintainer but haven't received anything for two weeks.

So, if you don't make the static targets, I think things work.  I'm 
not sure why some ebuilds do not make the static versions of the 
libraries too.

I see no workaround for this until the ebuilds are fixed.

Best,
Kyle
