Thanks, both patches applied. Can you submit upstream?

To be honest, I am wondering if it's really a good idea to patch all
package to make sure they only install shared libraries in a
BR2_SHARED_LIBS=y build. Ideally yes, but do we want to carry patches
in all packages that have a crazy build system, and are for many of
them essentially unmaintained? I don't know.
