All mentioned libraries above must go to -dev or -sdk, otherwise you
will not be able to build against them without -static installled.

FILES_${PN}-static = "" is not fully correct general solution. There
are projects, that have more static libraries. Only listed static
libraries must go to -dev, the rest may go to -static. A good
example is libsdl-x11. Only libSDLmain.a must go to -dev, the rest may
go to -static. I'll try to create smarter expression to find such
packages.

Note that this list covers only packages actually built for my image.

All of them probably would need. For example without libgcc.a you will
not be able to compile.
