+Subject: [PATCH] raster/loader/Makefile.in: do not force static linking
+
+This is similar to commit
+https://github.com/postgis/postgis/commit/98070faad220e12fcaed9a583a70a37c510b7c6b,
+but applied to raster/loader. It ensures that if only shared variants
+of the libraries are available, the link still works. If you force
+-static and only shared variants of some of the libraries are
+available, the link fails with "d: attempted static link of dynamic
+object XYZ".
