Here is a minimalist defconfig with static-libs:

    BR2_arm=y
    BR2_cortex_a7=y
    BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL=y
    BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_BOOTLIN=y
    BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_BOOTLIN_ARMV7_EABIHF_MUSL_BLEEDING_EDGE=y
    BR2_STATIC_LIBS=y
    BR2_PACKAGE_SPIRV_TOOLS=y

And with this, spirv-tools does build successfully;

    $ make spirv-tools-configure

    target/usr/bin/spirv-val:         ELF 32-bit LSB executable, ARM, EABI5 version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, with debug_info, not stripped

So, strictly speaking, spirv-tools do not require shared libs, and do
build OK with static-only.

So, if there is an issue with static-only, there is a hidden condition
as well. Can you investigate a bit further, please?
