    This corrects build failures on ppc64{,le} with the
    WITH_EMBEDDED_SERVER option enabled.
    
    MDEV-22641 added an unusual case in which the same object
    file in was included twice with a different function
    defination. The original cmake/merge_archives_unix.cmake
    did not tolerate such eventualities.
    
    So we move to the highest voted answer on Stack Overflow
    for the merging of static libraries.

    Thin archives generated compile failures and the libtool
    mechanism would of been another dependency and using .la
    files that isn't part of a normal cmake output. The straight
    Apple mechanism of libtool with static archives also failed
    on Linux.
    
    This leaves the MRI script mechansim which was implemented
    in this change.
