Like how GCC does it too. It basically works, because those libs are built
with:

  --disable-shared
  --enable-static

Same logic applies as the work-around I mentioned earlier, because there's
no *.so files to pick first, the build falls back to the static libraries.

Before, it was possible to instruct the build process to pick the static
version of these libraries wherever it is hinted (system-level or
--with-{gmp,mpfr}-lib).
