-------------------------------------------------------------------
By default, every distribution (Debian, RH, Gentoo, et all) can not build
static libraries unless there is a separate -static subpackage which is
considered bad form unless it is a rebuild package such as libev.
This is the same bundling constraint I've mentioned before. Distributions
*will not rebundle*, as it is untenable to manage.
For example, imagine if everyone statically linked some version of openssl,
then a security CVE came out. You would literally need to grok (N) packages,
vs. update once.
In general, it's a bad practice. ref:

> Sometimes, framework writers (e.g., C++) would like to statically link
> libmesos into their scheduler/executor to tightly control the version of
> libmesos that they depend on. While, they can bundle the libmesos.so with
> scheduler/executor it is convenient to give them access to a static library
> (e.g.: they want to create a static scheduler/executor libs).
