The static linking fix seems unrelated to the version bump, and this is
the sort of fix we might want to backport.

However, Fabrice already took a look at that static linking issue and
has submitted a while ago some patches:

  https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/buildroot/patch/20200713155135.1214109-1-fontaine.fabrice@gmail.com/
  https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/buildroot/patch/20200713155135.1214109-2-fontaine.fabrice@gmail.com/

I guess we should try to apply these and then the version bump on its
own.
