It took me a moment to spot what was actually happening here, but I
think this is a step in the wrong direction.  Libmemusage is not
something that most folks are going to want in their rootfs; libcidn is
a bit more debatable but I suspect that at least some people will view
it as bloat.  I would prefer to see the glibc packaging becoming less
rather than more monolithic and I think these two libraries would be
better placed in their own subpackages.

(Also, as an aside, this part of the patch doesn't seem to have anything
to do with the static libs and it should probably not be bundled into
the same changeset.)
