The idea in #164071 was to use to in odin, can you please check it works? That would remove a resource there.

Sorry, what?

You said:

For glfw brew just installs a dynamic library, not a static one, so that won't work in its current state

I'm not sure why odin would not build with a dynamic library, but that statement was the reason for suggesting adding a static library.

Odin provides an option for both (for users of Odin, it is not required for Odin the compiler, but for the "std" library), but prefers static because it is objectively better.

Even without thinking of the Odin PR, having a static library available is a good thing in general.
