[CMake] static library linking

[Steven Van Ingelgem]

A small example (and verified on a clean SUSE installation):

====================
PROJECT(test)

cmake_policy(SET CMP0003 NEW)

ADD_EXECUTABLE(
  test
  main.cpp
)
TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(
  test
  /usr/lib/libpthread.a
  /usr/lib/librt.a
  /usr/lib/libc.a
)
====================

==> this won't set the .a's in the commandline as it should do, but rather
link it via -Wl,-Bstatic...


And I really need those static links, because no single other library on the
system exports the required symbols, not even the shared ones.
