    Don't finalize libraries in static build
    
    In a build with static libraries, functions tagged with
    __attribute__((destructor)) may be executed in any order, not in a
    topologically sorted order as they are in shared libraries.  This
    could result in libcom_err functions being invoked (from another
    library's finalizer) after libcom_err has been finalized, which would
    (at minimum) result in using a mutex after it is destroyed.  To
    prevent this kind of problem, disable finalizers in the static build
    regardless of whether we have compiler or linker support for them.
