Yes, we probably want to have the choice between building static only, static + shared, or shared only, default to shared only. Currently, when !BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB, we build both the shared and static variants, which takes time because it requires building everything twice, once with -fPIC, once without. Also, the availability of the shared options should depend on whether the architecture actually supports shared libraries, as Thomas suggested.
