Thanks Paolo.
That's a nice feature to have.
I.E. statically link the lib when not present on the system.
It would be useful when one wanted to build a standalone sed
for example on older or non linux systems, with the caveat
that the binary would be a fair bit larger.
I don't think we'll use this in coreutils for example
due to the extra memory each util would use.

You mean you'd keep libunistring static or shared? If the latter, I agree that most coreutils should not need libunistring, but (after double checking this) IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES_CFLAGS should handle it. For the few that require it, libunistring would be shared between all programs using it so memory is not a very important issue.
