Why can't we build a static library?

Why do we need that?

Note that in corss-compilation, running ldconfig is flawed, and we have
explcitly idable its use. See commit 9c4072348 (Makefile: drop ldconfig
handling).

As a consequence, you want to explcitly configure with LDCONF=/bin/true,
see for example package/e2fsprogs/e2fsprogs.mk (for the target variant)
(Nothe that a few other packages do something similar as well)

Which means that with your patch and without a call to ldconfig, the .so
symlink will no longer exist, and so it will no longer be possible to
link against the library.

Note that the host variant is not OK either, because not all systems
have ldconfig on the host either... See 64d4b34073 (e2fsprogs: do not
use ldconfig when building the host variant).
