Suggestion, providing a good justification(1) for such a request could increase the likelihood of it getting implemented. (1) and, because I want to link statically, probably doesn't count.

When working with build systems that should work when ran on any distribution - provided the correct dependencies/requirements are available - it can be painful if one distribution was/is unable to provide a requirement. While working with an internal build system that I use at work and while testing crosstool-ng[1] on a few different distributions (ie: debian, ubuntu, slackware, gentoo, arch) I found they are all able to provide libexpat.a, but not rh/fedora. There are other differences these build systems have to over come. For instance, different versions of bash, make, autotools, etc... Having to build a static library for the 'one off' distribution is annoying. It would be nice if Fedora provided libexpat.a in a -static package.
