Configure script checks if static libraries will be built

The default Mac compiler has problems building static libraries. Since we
are not yet building the GNU C Compiler as part of the pipeline, we'll have
to rely on the host system's compiler. Therefore, a check is now added a
the start of the configure script that will build a minimal program with
the `-static' flag and if it fails, it will print a warning. Afterwards,
none of the dependencies will be built with the `-static' flag.
