In principle, libc_nonshared.a etc. all fall under the "what if only a
static library is provided" policy, so if the guideline was enforced for
glibc, every single package containing compiled code would need to BR
glibc-static (or rather glibc-nonshared-static or something like that to
distinguish it from a true glibc-static subpackage which should be what
ships libc.a) because it links libc_nonshared.a.
