[Buildroot] Static Library Building - On/Off/Configurable?

All,
Currently many of the packages that are in buildroot have a setting of
--enable-static
This takes extra compile time and seems somewhat unnecessary. It means
that it is not very configurable. (default on)
What are peoples opinion on using the following:
ifeq ($(BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB),y)
OPT_STATIC = --enable-static
endif
This could be added(not quite like above but similar) to
Makefile.autotools.in,
I believe that --enable-static is a default parameter to configure
scripts so that should be safe, its just it would mean a central
'switch' to enable static compilation and would make things a lot
simpler.
