I'll try Sylvestre's patch today. Unfortunately I did not manage to do
that earlier. I guess we can go for 1.2.8 directly, meaning we should
build 1.2.8 both static and shared.

If we want to go for a freeze exception, building static libs in 1.2.8
is IMHO not going to help us. The only reason for a freeze exception
would be a "prettier" version number. As I understood upstream, the RC
and 1.2.8 are essentially the same. If there are no fixes for severe
issues, IMHO releasing with the RC is fine.

Anyway, I do not think a freeze exception is necessary, and by that we
can upload 1.2.8 with static and shared libs to unstable. If things stay
in unstable anyway, we can modify whatever we want, right? ;)

Best regards
Manuel
