Hello,

I am wondering what is the purpose of this commit? While it prevents to build dynamic libraries for protobuf, the static libraries and the pkg-config files are still there. So, if you run contrib compilation afterwards, it still detects protobuf as already installed (at least for me).

With best regards,
David
