This is just lame. I do not understand the explanation at all, since I do
not see any scenario in which the static library makes things easier for the
consumer of the library. I have added a commit comment saying so.
And the fact that the library building code is handwritten is a WTF by
itself. With any reasonable build system, changing a library from static to
shared is at most a one-line change. But upstream's build system is not
reasonable.

Well, if that is the case, considering that upstream themselves consider the
library obsolete, I guess it is fine to orphan it and let it be retired
eventually.
