  This is already part of the standard SHARED_STATIC_LIBS_OPTS, which is 
part of the argument list of configure. The difference being that in the 
shared case, --enable-static is still passed (to allow building static 
libraries, in case some client prefers to link statically after all).

  Any reason why this doesn't work for stress?

ifeq ($(BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB),y)
    SHARED_STATIC_LIBS_OPTS=--enable-static --disable-shared
    TARGET_LDFLAGS += --static
    else
    SHARED_STATIC_LIBS_OPTS=--enable-static --enable-shared
    endif

As you indicated, the --enable-static is given anyway in the
SHARED_STATIC_LIBS_OPTS.
Unfortunately, as long as the --enable-static is given, stress links the
program statically, regardless how the --enable-shared or --disable-shared.
In this case, stress would be linked statically regardless how the
BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB specifies.
So we need the patch to explicitly tell it link the program dynamically by
appending/overriding with --disable-static.

Thanks.

So you only need to pass --disable-static if !BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB?
Could you please resend with a patch only doing that and a comment above
it explaining why?

My pleasure.

I add comment in both commit log and makefile.
Please feel free to do necessary editing while committing.

Thanks.
