This patch is harmless, from the etags point of view.  The choice for
"static" was of theoretical cleanness and source documentation, but
involved no practical issues.

If you need that patch, I can apply it myself (I am the etags
maintainer) or you can apply it, if you like it better.  Just let me
know.
