That timeline makes little sense.  The v0.2 release was on August 19th
2020, but the two libraries diverge on August 7th -- again according to
Github.  The files also indicate 0.1.

I don't think building static libraries is very guixy.  If 2.5.8 is no
significant improvement over 2.5.1 in that regard, let's stay with the
latter while we can still build shared libraries.
