open to allowing this to be set at build-time with a variable.
debugcc is currently linked statically using -static and -static-libgcc. This is not required for normal use and causes issues for distributions that prefer dynamically linked binaries, such as larger binaries and duplicated runtime code that would otherwise be shared. Drop the explicit static link flags and allow Meson to use the default toolchain behaviour so that debugcc is built as a dynamically linked binary instead.
