Sure. I am ready to deeply investigate it to make a proper decision.

Bug description:
  [Test Case]
  $ cat > /tmp/hello.c <<EOF
  #include <stdio.h>

  int main() {
      printf("Hello world! (and LP: #1971523)\n");
  }
  EOF
  $ gcc -o /tmp/hello /tmp/hello.c -lmnl
  (dynamic libs work)
  $ gcc -static -o /tmp/hello /tmp/hello.c -lmnl
  /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lmnl: No such file or directory

  [Original Report]
  My program uses both -lmnl and -lnetfilter_queue and in Ubuntu 20.04 the 
-lnetfilter_queue did not work and -lmnl worked for static builds. In Ubuntu 
22.04 the problem is reversed, -lnetfilter_queue works but -lmnl doesn't for 
static builds. This is very awkward during the transition 20.04->22.04 when 
both should be supported.

  I compensated in Ubuntu 20.04 by building netfilter_queue locally;
