Created attachment 3086 Build only shared plug-in Plugins shouldn't have --enable-static enabled by default. Longer compile time, more HDD space, no use... pointless file. Attached patch fixes the issue

Do any of them not build a static library?

Only plugins that build static archives are: datetime, notes and sensors And I assume all of them are by mistake (= missing libtool syntax for not doing so) My patch uses syntax that has been available since libtool-2.2.6 (the new syntax), therefore the LT_PREREQ, but I'm sure you'll find alternative syntaxes from any other than datetime, notes or sensors if required...
Now with bug 6920 closed, this patch can be applied as is.
Finally(!) fixed in 61eba53
