 because BIND 10 generally relies on dynamic links (and some only work
 with dynamic links, such as loadable modules).

 Building library objects for static links and using it for tests have
 been known to be useful for finding some kinds of bugs, so I think it
 still makes sense to keep the mode of generating .a's, but the default
 should probably be better to be changed.

 I've not confirmed that myself, but there's a suggestion of adding
 this to configure.ac:
 {{{
     LT_INIT([disable-static])
 }}}
