Failure in static build are exceptional.
Shared and static build should produce one and the same result.
Note that you could disable shared build and in this case result or 
static build is displayed!

I prefer do not see double output in build process i.e. is in past decades.

Models static vs shared build are not related to build process trace.
Why to output static build as in 99.9999999% cases is same as shared?
