Bug#1059223: First workaround failing

This is mirroring the comment I've left on the Ubuntu bug:
Unfortunately my first attempt at a workaround was indeed failing to
address the issue, but as far as I am aware only because there are
multiple such failing tests.
I agree that injecting the dependency on the static library is not
nice, but the linking was failing because that static library was
passed to the linker last. I have noticed that it's dependencies come
after it, so injecting `-lc` there did produce the correct command
line at least for that one test.
As far as it being a rustc issue, I am only 50/50 because rustc
doesn't necessarily guarantee that internally it always is linking
against libc, and it also cannot know that external dependencies
passed to it are really written in C. Providing such guarantees as
"always link against libc and do so last" is ultimately for the Rustc
authors to decide. Also Meson does always know that it is passing
libraries written in C to rustc, so maybe it should always internally
mark such libraries as dependent on libc?
Ultimately the proper place to fix this is for the rustc and/or meson
authors to decide, I would just like to get Ubuntu moving forward.
