Comment (by leres):

 Since the 1.5.3 version of Broccoli builds both shared and static
 libraries by default on FreeBSD amd64 without issue I think it's
 ridiculous that the new cmake version can't.

 That said, I just tried grabbing a fresh copy of git://git.bro-
 ids.org/broccoli and building with --enable-static and --enable-shared
 (7.2-RELEASE and 8.2-RELEASE, both amd64) and although there doesn't
 appear to be a way to build both static and shared libraries at the same
 time (why not??), I no longer see any errors from either build. So
 something has changed since in the way broccoli is being built between now
 and when I filed this ticket.

 {{{
 Needing to link the broccoli bindings against a static broccoli library
 should not
 be a common situation that users will find themselves in.
 }}}

 I think there's a big difference between that and disallowing the user to
 build both.

 BTW, is there magic to coerce cmake into to showing the actual gcc lines?
 "Building C object" is nice when things work but it isn't so helpful when
 things don't.
