If there is a need for a shared library, then that's the way to go. I
can understand there was a quick fix
on one distro which is Linux only. Is this option gcc only? 
With the patch, will the library work correctly on all the supported
platforms?

From Automake manual:

        Building shared libraries portably is a relatively complex matter.
        For this reason, GNU Libtool (see Introduction) was created to help build
        shared libraries in a platform-independent way.


List of non shared libraries:

        xfree86/parser/Makefile.am:lib_LIBRARIES = libxf86config.a
        vfb/Makefile.am:noinst_LIBRARIES = libfbcmap.a
        dmx/input/Makefile.am:noinst_LIBRARIES = libdmxinput.a
        dmx/glxProxy/Makefile.am:noinst_LIBRARIES = libglxproxy.a
        dmx/config/Makefile.am:noinst_LIBRARIES = libdmxconfig.a
        xnest/Makefile.am:noinst_LIBRARIES = libfbcmap.a
