On the usefulness of that I have generally a lot to say, but that's
another topic.

Very simple: ./configure --disable-shared --without-python

Without my patch you're building (and installing) an useless file with
the default configuration (--enable-shared). And _pretending_ to build
Python bindings (that will never work even the slightest) with the
configuration you suggested (--disable-shared --with-python).

Your really can't get it both ways.

As Daniel (Berrange) said, the other option is to check whether shared
libraries are enabled by libtool and either disable Python bindings or
bail out earlier (configure rather than make) with the impossible
combination of no-shared-libraries but-python-bindings.
