Re: [PATCH] build: have a disable-static build succeed

When using configure --disable-static, no libosmogsm.a will be created, and the tests fail to link because symbols like _a5_3 and _a5_4 are not exported through the only remaining libosmogsm.so.

A method to overcome this is an intermediate private non-distributed library, examples of which are present in e.g. libabc, kmod and systemd.

With this, disable-static can now be the default and practical compile time be halved.

thanks. What is the likelihood of —disable-static build to fail? Does it make sense to add a jenkins config/matrix for this?
