No problem! I only knew about the revert because I was investigating the
static build faiulures, and also considered the bump... ;-)

You can start with any of those defconfig:
static based on uClibc:
http://autobuild.buildroot.org/toolchains/configs/br-arm-full-static.config
based on musl (but need to manually set static):
http://autobuild.buildroot.org/toolchains/configs/br-arm-cortex-a9-musl.config
Save them locally, and run:
make BR2_DEFCONFIG=/path/to/where/you/saved/br-arm-full-static.config defconfig
make menuconfig
-- enable protobuf
-- exit
make protobuf
(Similarly for the musl build, but you need to enable static-only in the
menuconfig).

OK, great! Thanks! :-)
