Static linking is useful for advanced users. Users of monorepo build systems (bazel, buck2) often have a preference for statically linking literally everything, and such build systems give the necessary infra to do so. This enables more advanced optimization from the compiler (for example enabling the use of LTO, potentially even in one unit with the python interpreter themselves).
This feature is not exposed publicly but requires quite a lot of renames and #ifdefs to support using static linking instead of capsules. Groups have to be renamed with an additional suffix for uniqueness across compilation units and a bunch of librt functions are enabled to be prefixed (for potentially being non-static).
Users who wish to use this advanced mode can call it from mypyc_build() with particular CompilationOptions. Naturally the user is required to figure out how to actually invoke the linker.
