Hello,

I'm having a failure when doing a static build of elfutils because it
tries to build a shared library (.so). Could it be possible to add a
configure option to disable the shared library so only the static one
(.a) would be built?

This is the failure I'm talking about:

/home/chroot/media/code/buildroot/autobuilder/instance-0/output/host/opt/ext-toolchain/bin/../lib/gcc/mipsel-buildroot-linux-uclibc/4.8.3/../../../../mipsel-buildroot-linux-uclibc/bin/ld:

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Makefile:939: recipe for target 'libelf.so' failed
