a) We need both versions to build dbootstrap - static library and PIC library
b) We need both versions of PIC libs to make library reduction

I looked at mklibs.py, it can be tuned to work more precise: 
 - look first for libfoobarSONAME_pic.a
 - if this was not found, try libfoobar*_pic.a (as done at the moment)

I tried to mix both library in the root fs: either libslang.1 was
broken, or the libs were not reduced at expected and the FS was too big.
IMHO we must make -utf8 versions of whiptail, cfdisk, nano-tiny and drop
the non-utf8 slang/newt on the default disk, but use ONLY utf8 versions
of slang/newt on the i18n disk.

I do not think so if I see "-lslang -lnewt" while building dbootstrap.
Can anyone tell the ultimative truth?
