Bruce Richardson April 29, 2020, 10:08 a.m. UTC 
  Rather than setting -Bstatic in the linker flags when doing a static link,
and then having to explicitly set -Bdynamic again afterwards, we can update
the pkg-config file to use -l:libfoo.a syntax to explicitly refer to the
static library in question. Since this syntax is not supported by meson's
pkg-config module directly, we can post-process the .pc files instead to
adjust them.

Once done, we can simplify the examples' makefiles and the docs by removing
the explicit static flag.

It looks to be the same workaround I did for ibverbs static linkage :)

This sounds like a worthwhile feature request for Meson to me. Would
you be up for opening an RFE on their issue tracker explaining the use
case, please?

Are you implying that I normally learn nothing from your patches? :-)

I'm happy it helped the general case :-)

Yes, I can do so.

I didn't look to implement this in meson myself because it would take so
long to get into a version that we would use as our minimum version. :-(

Yeah that's fair, an issue to put in the radar is fine, and if anyone
has time to implement it then we can remove the workarounds in the
future
