kselftest/arm64: bti: force static linking
The "bti" selftests are built with -nostdlib, which apparently automatically creates a statically linked binary, which is what we want and need for BTI (to avoid interactions with the dynamic linker). However this is not true when building a PIE binary, which some toolchains (Ubuntu) configure as the default. When compiling btitest with such a toolchain, it will create a dynamically linked binary, which will probably fail some tests, as the dynamic linker might not support BTI: =================== TAP version 13 1..18 not ok 1 nohint_func/call_using_br_x0 not ok 2 nohint_func/call_using_br_x16 not ok 3 nohint_func/call_using_blr .... =================== To make sure we create static binaries, add an explicit -static on the linker command line. This forces static linking even if the toolchain defaults to PIE builds, and fixes btitest runs on BTI enabled machines.
