This allows a user to statically link a library even when not using pkg-config as source. Previously, if SYSTEM_DEPS_NO_PKG_CONFIG was set, the SYSTEM_DEPS_LINK=static configuration was ignored.
Since the user already went above and beyond to issue a strong intent of static linking, no check is performed whether the file actually exists. The linker will scream if something is wrong.
