"avoid non upstream patches"? Is upstream not accepting patches? Anyway, I
tried it out with the following changes to the spec file:
-%configure --enable-gtk-doc
+%configure --disable-static --enable-gtk-doc

 find $RPM_BUILD_ROOT -name '*.la' -exec rm -f {} ';'
-find $RPM_BUILD_ROOT -name '*.a' -exec rm -f {} ';'

... and the scratch build succeeded, so I don't really believe there's
something wrong with the way the build system handles --disable-static:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2374115

Also, I'd like to comment on two added requires in the devel package (no need
to change anything, I just feel verbose today):
> Requires:       gtk-doc
This is fine right now, but keep an eye on
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=604169#c28

> Requires:       pkgconfig
This line is only needed if you plan to use the same spec file in EPEL 4 or
EPEL 5; in current Fedora releases rpm adds the pkgconfig dep automatically.
