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 Signed-off-by: Ronald G.
