+Subject: [PATCH] build: avoid building check-direct with --disable-static
+
+"check-direct" needs to statically link with the libraries, because
+it wants to test internal ABI, which is hidden in the share libraries.
+When configuring with "--disable-static", static libs are not build
+and the test tool cannot be build.
+
+Just skip the test in that case.
