  # `--shared --static` builds only static libs, while
  # `--static --shared` builds both.
  # So we use the latter order to be able to build both.
  # Also, giving just `--shared` builds both,
  # giving just `--static` builds only static,
  # and giving nothing builds both.
  # So we have 3 possible ways to build both:
  # `--static --shared`, `--shared` and giving nothing.
