Thanks for the report. However I'm afraid, we cannot simply link against the private dependencies of the libraries that we depend on. Most users link against shared libraries. Always including e.g. LIBSNDFILE_STATIC_LIBRARIES would result in unnecessary dependencies like FLAC and OGG/Vorbis that are hard to fulfill esp. for windows users who just downloaded the prebuilt libsndfile from mega-nerd.
On the other hand, there doesn't really seem to be a way to influence pkgconfig whether it found static or shared libs. Hence we cannot know when to use the special STATIC_LIBRARIES flag. Also, getting the private dependencies of readline correct is tricky, because readline does not provide a pkgconfig file. I currently don't see how to solve this, sry.
