The upstream build system _has_ to support linking to a static library.
Adding a dependency to a static version of a shared library, does not
magically change the upstream link logic.
You would use the above BUILD_DEPENDS only for libraries that only come
in static version, like hebrew/hspell.
Or when the upstream build system only links with the static version.
