The RPM package requires dynamic linking support (dlfcn.h) for its
capabilities related to plugins (and possibly more). The following
commit adds a dependency to !BR2_STATIC_LIBS.

A series of dependent libraries will not be tested for and built with
correctly. For the above autobuild errors, the explicit issue is testing
for libmagic support. Since libmagic and libz are statically built,
attempts to perform an autoconf test for libmagic will fail since it
does not have decompression symbols defined. RPM package isn't aware of
private libmagic dependencies since the dependent library does not
provide a pkg-config meta information [2].
