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
