FRR doesn't build with --enable-static-bin configure flag

Description

Hi,
I was trying to compile frr with static linking enabled, but I ran into linking issue:

  CCLD     mgmtd/mgmtd
/usr/bin/ld: mgmtd/.libs/libmgmt_be_nb.a(mgmtd_libmgmt_be_nb_la-rip_cli.o): in function `rip_cli_init':
/tmp/tmp.b1m5dh9JrF/frr/ripd/rip_cli.c:1317:(.text+0xc2d): undefined reference to `if_rmap_init'
/usr/bin/ld: mgmtd/.libs/libmgmt_be_nb.a(mgmtd_libmgmt_be_nb_la-rip_cli.o):(.data.rel.ro+0x1c80): undefined reference to `group_distribute_list_ipv4_cli_show'
/usr/bin/ld: mgmtd/.libs/libmgmt_be_nb.a(mgmtd_libmgmt_be_nb_la-rip_cli.o):(.data.rel.ro+0x1d10): undefined reference to `group_distribute_list_ipv4_cli_show'
/usr/bin/ld: mgmtd/.libs/libmgmt_be_nb.a(mgmtd_libmgmt_be_nb_la-rip_cli.o):(.data.rel.ro+0x1da0): undefined reference to `group_distribute_list_ipv4_cli_show'

I wasn't yet able to make libyang_fat.a library as suggested by the Static linking guide, but I'm relatively confident the issue isn't linking libyang.

• functions mentioned in the output appear to be part of frr, not yang
• when taking the failing command (./libtool --silent --tag=CC --mode=link clang [...] -ljson-c -latomic -lrt) I was able to add ./lib/.libs/libfrr.a to the end of the command and mgmtd linked successfully

Version

rc/10.2 (commit 22746b8d5)

How to reproduce

./bootstrap.sh && ./configure --enable-static --enable-static-bin --enable-shared && make -j $(nproc)

Expected behavior

Linking successfully

Actual behavior

Not linking successfully

Additional context

No response
