Because you are working against aboll and me - we want to build as much
'-shared' as possible (and also distributions [should] want to do so):

Also this statement is wrong:
"This library was originally changed to a shared object to work around
linker error in egl_static.so, but these appear to be fixed now."

It was changed to be built '-shared' because there were and possibly be
troubles with crashing egl things if r600 AND radeonsi were built together (see
on #dri-devel from mid december 2012 [MrCooper, jobermayr])

You should also see the conditional there. If it makes sense and is required
(r600 AND radeonsi) it is shared. If it doesn't (r600 XOR radeonsi) it is
static.
