Antoine Pitrou commented on ARROW-3884:
---------------------------------------
You're right, it's probably not a requirement. It was just my experience with
llvmlite that static linking made distributing the library a lot easier. Also,
static linking can allow the linker to remove unused stuff (perhaps depending
on additional compiler / linker arguments), which can reduce the final size.

> Reporter: Wes McKinney
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 0.12.0
>
>
> This is necessary to be able to build and bundle libgandiva with the 0.12
> release
> This (epic!) build definition in Apache Kudu may be useful for building only
> the pieces that we need for linking the Gandiva libraries, which may help
> keep the image size minimal
