michalsrb declined request
Replaced by sr#568904 taking the opposite approach - building even clang libraries as shared.

Please also have a look at https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1065464 why reenabling static builds are really needed.
Thank you for your work, however the OpenSUSE policy against static libraries is pretty strict. The llvm package went thru many changes lately, but it did not remove static libraries - they were not built before either.
I will leave this request open while I investigate the bug #1065464. Ideally we'll find solution without using static libraries.
I guess that in worst case this might actually be reason for providing static library.
@michalsrb: review reminder
@michalsrb: Thanks a lot!
