BUILD_SHARED_LIBS goes far beyond what is needed for just the simple plugins, as I don't want shared libraries for all sub-components (on Windows or Linux for that matter). BUILD_SHARED_LIBS also doesn't work with mingw. I get undefined reference errors, so I am not sure how anyone works with it these days, but we have cobbled together most of a build that works, and this is the last missing piece for LTO (hopefully).
