This patch doesn't solves the issue with static build.

You have function:
int foo(int val)

And you want to create new version of it. So after edit you will have:
int foo_v20(int val)
{
[...]
}
VERSION_SYMBOL(foo, _v20, 2.0);

int foo_v21(int val1, int val2)
{
[...]
}
BIND_DEFAULT_SYMBOL (foo, _v21, 2.1);

You have also external application that uses foo function. You try to compile this app with dpdk
compiled as shared and static. In first case everything will work fine, but in second linker won't
find definition of foo because it doesn't exist. There are only definitions of foo_v20 and foo_v21.

Maciek
