  --enable-static should mean that static libraries should be built,
while -static says that the executable should only be linked with
static libraries.  But of course, with all the non-standard autotools
stuff out there, you never know...

  I expect that adding -static to LDFLAGS will break quite a few packages.
Would it be possible to add a BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB test to the autobuilds?

  Arnout
