Static compilation to generate shared library

-static is a link time option.  -c tells the compiler to not link.  So
using -static and -c together does not make sense.

-static says to do a static link.  -shared says to make a shared
library, which is inherently non-static.  Using -static and -shared
together does not make sense.

Use -nodefaultlibs to avoid linking against -lc.  Also look at using
attributes for symbol visibility.
