Subject: [PATCH v3 3/3] um: allow static linking for non-glibc implementations

It is possible to produce a statically linked UML binary with UML_NET_VECTOR,
UML_NET_VDE and UML_NET_PCAP options enabled using alternative libc
implementations, which do not rely on NSS, such as musl.

Allow static linking in this case.
