I think the motivation here was that some other package we use in Fedora
links libxf86config into a shared library (I might be wrong here). AFAIK,
Debian doesn't package it at all. Not sure about other distros.

We've been carrying this patch since 1.4-ish, dropped it at some point when
it went .so for a short while and then added the patch again. We don't carry
anything for libfbcmap.

Cheers,
