Which matches was happened with mingw under linux.  This is quite
surprising to me, perhaps some vasprintf configure test turn out
different when building shared libraries?  I dunno.

Ok no problem.  Building static libraries should be supported, so I
appreciate your effort in going through these problems (and especially
for reporting them!).

Yes, they are used by most users.  However, if you get assembler related
build errors, it is usually not worth the effort to track it down; just
use --disable-asm instead.
