  Although I'm OK with this patch, I have been unable to reproduce the problem
and I'd like to know why it is going wrong with -static.  Can you post a
defconfig that I can rebuild and that exposes the problem?

  Note: a few autobuilders with BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB enabled could be nice -
or maybe not, because many packages _will_break.

  Regards,
  Arnout
