We now support the common meson option -Ddefault_library, with values 'both' (the default), 'shared' (install only shared libraries), and 'static' (install only static libraries). The 'static' choice doesn't actually work, since psql and other programs insist on linking to the shared version of libpq, but it's there pro-forma. It could be built out if we really wanted, but since we have never supported the equivalent in the autoconf build system, there doesn't appear to be an urgent need. With an eye to re-supporting AIX, the internal implementation distinguishes whether to install libpgport.a and other static-only libraries from whether to build/install the static variant of libraries that we can build both ways. This detail isn't exposed as a meson option, though it could be if there's demand. The Cirrus CI task SanityCheck now uses -Ddefault_library=shared to save a little bit of build time (and to test this option).
