Yes, I of course agree with the fact that makedumpfile for kdump 2nd
kernel should always be built in statically linked way.
But I think two problems are different, that is, the problem making
users easily able to choose build option by autotools, and the problem
guranteeing that the makedumpfile for kdump 2nd kernel be built always
statically.
I don't see why it should be statically linked. Debian & Ubuntu both use
a dynamically linked makedumpfile for the 2nd kdump kernel.
Debian executes makedumpfile on the 'real' root FS while Ubuntu runs it
in the initramfs. It is simply a chroot on the root FS being mounted on
/root.
HTH,
