+* Fixes an issue that prevented static libraries from building. `OTHER_LIBTOOLFLAGS`
+  is no longer set to the value of `OTHER_LDFLAGS`. If you want to create a static
+  library that includes all dependencies for (internal/external) distribution then
+  you should use a tool like `cocoapods-packager`.
