Ah. I don't object to having a more general version, as long as
the AIX patch can auto-disable static libraries rather than having
a gotcha "it breaks with a mysterious error if you don't say this".
However ... this bit of that patchset is a problem:

If we want to replicate the port's historical behavior, it needs to
install those by default. So we need something more fine-grained
than "all statics" or "no statics" internally.
