lguest: avoid shared libraries mapped over guest memory
Some versions of ld.so mmap the shared libraries right in over guest
memory, so compile lguest statically by default.
[ FC7 maps shared libraries very low, where the launcher maps guest's
physical memory. Quick fix is to link Launcher static, real fix is
for 2.6.24. ]
-static is a simple fix. I expect this problem will be more common than we
like, as different distro's make different "improvements" to ld.so
