Even if that particular compromise might be the right one to do for
clang and llvm, the point is that the Fedora rule is garbage, and it
doesn't _allow_ for making any compromises at all.

The Fedora policy is basically "you have to use shared libraries
whether that makes any sense or not".

As mentioned, I've seen a project bitten by that insane policy.  It's bogus.
