Add pkg-config --static to Android build

On Android, use pkg-config --static
    
    This makes it output the complete dependency chain for each
    library, e.g. libffi for GObject. This is necessary because Android
    toolchains don't follow shared library interdependencies like
    normal GNU toolchains.

Comment 1 Robert Staudinger 2012-03-28 00:23:35 UTC

According to pkg-config --help:

    --static        output linker flags for static linking

Is this what we are moving to, for the Android build? That's quite different from what the commit message says.

Comment 2 Alvaro Soliverez 2012-03-28 03:50:07 UTC

The result of that flag is that pkg-config will output the whole dependency chain.

In the case at hand, without that flag, pkg-config will only output the flags for glib. With the flag, it will also output the flags for libffi, which is a new glib dependency.

It's either that, or add the libffi flags in configure.ac, and all the relevant Makefile.am files

Android does need this, so, applied.
