Before libtool conversion "make static" did not create a static binary
either.  It builds a version of ebtables that has libebtables.so 
baked in.

So, as far as I can see, "make static" does the same thing it
did prio to automake/libtool conversion, place all the extensions
and libebtables in the "static" binary, but link libc.so dynamically.
