I think probably the main issue is that --enable-final mode messes up
static libraries, so I needed to write a patch to disable that on
libraries when --enable-static was also passed. (And previously, I
just didn't use --enable-final at all because of this.) Also, the
plugins all get useless static versions built since libtool can't tell
when it's building a plugin as opposed to a library.
I don't see what I can really do about this. Dropping the static
libraries entirely would be a policy violation, and compiling static
libraries which contain just one big .o file wouldn't be much better.
