An ugly workaround in upstream could be to make configure fail on GNU/Linux if both shared and static libs are about to be built. That is, show an error message describing that one thing has to be built at a time. It's not pretty but with Autotools I don't see any other way except dropping the RHEL/CentOS 7 compat symbols completely. Static libs shouldn't have symbol versions (no matter which arch), somehow it just doesn't always create problems. That is, it would be mandatory to use either --disable-static or --disable-shared to make configure pass. Or would it be less bad to default to shared-only build and require the use of both --disable-shared --enable-static to get static build? I don't like any of these but I don't have better ideas.
