+Support installation of .a file when doing static linking
+
+When doing static linking (i.e ENABLE_SHARED != yes), the attr build
+logic wasn't installing any library at all, not even the .a file which
+is needed for static linking. This patch fixes that.

When attr is built static-only, it forgets to install its libattr.a file, which leads to the build failure of packages such as 'acl' that rely on attr.
