Don't copy shared libraries to the target dir if BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB defined

Hello

Buildroot version: 2010.11

I tried to build minimal busybox-only project for using as initramfs. I use external buildroot toolchain. The buildroot copy the .so libraries from external toolchain to the target dir unconditionally. But I build busybox statically and don't need shared libraries (the size of resulted image is too big with unneeded libraries).

The attached patch use BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB to find out if the project prefer static linking and if the static linking is preferred don't copy shared libraries to the target dir.
