[Mesa-dev] [PATCH 15/23] configure: add HAVE_GALLIUM_STATIC_TARGETS

[Marek Olšák]

Well, I have never studied the build system, so I don't know exactly
what this series does and how it affects the size of the drivers.

Could you please summarize what binaries are created, how big they
are, and compare the shared vs static approach vs the current way? And
what is the role of the pipe loader?
