Ok, I'm still a bit confused. Are executables converted to static libs (with a main method?) when doing static builds? I thought this affected only dynamic libraries. Are we sure that this functionality is actually needed? That is, should we not instead stop doing static libraries of executables (and either just ignore them, or keep creating executables) when doing static builds?

(I'm still not convinced this is the correct resolution, even though the change is pushed)
