This bug still persists in Ubuntu 19.04 (Disco Dingo). My use case is porting 32-bit x86 assembly that calls ALSA through a C interface. In order to not require modern systems to have to install 32-bit libraries just for this one program, I would like to be able to link statically.

In 12.04 there is a regression sicne version 1.0.25-1 (looking at changelog) - it does remove the build of the library, however it does make static builds against since library which did work in 11.10 fail now.
