Patch to build alsa-utils statically

When building ALSA-Utils for static build, there is a compilation faliure.
Added
a patch(attached) inside "package/multimedia\alsa-utils" directory to build
properly.

Not able to log this bug in ALSA project, the web-site hangs. The bug also
exists in ALSA 1.0.26(latest) included in buildroot 2012.11

The correction is not a generic, one. Not able to figure out how to modify the
configure script such that it includes "-ldl" only for non-static builds

Hi, 

Could you provide a config file that exhibits the problem?

FYI, a similar problem was reported on alsa-lib on the alsa mailing list a
while back. A patch was then added to alsa-lib upstream to add --with-dl /
without-dl switches to the configure script:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/alsa-devel/msg06454.html

In any case, the patch attached to this bug report is not ok: it would remove
-ldl unconditionally, even if shared libraries were requested.

Thanks,
Thomas

Hi Thomas,

even if you remove -ldl from configure it will still failing. I have tried it.

Although the problem can be solved with a patch like
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/319707/, we do not like to have such feature
patches in buildroot without them being accepted upstream. 
Please discuss the situation upstream on the alsa-devel mailing list. If the
patch can be accepted there, the buildroot build can be fixed with a version
bump.
