BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB _prefers_ static linking, but doesn't force it for
all packages.  So some binaries may still be built without -static, and
they will need libc.so on the target.

Therefore, put libc.so.0 in the target unconditionally.

I can confirm it works:
# find / -name "libc*"
/lib/libcrypt.so.0
/lib/libc.so.0
/lib/libcrypt-0.9.32.1.so
/usr/include/bits/libc-lock.h
/usr/lib/libc.a
/usr/lib/libcrypt_pic.a
/usr/lib/libc_pic.a
/usr/lib/libcurses.a
/usr/lib/libcrypt.a

This is an exact revert of c95174a8dfb6f72b80768b73b8f04448f846c122. Do
we really want to make circles and redo/undo our changes? :-)

  If they break things, yes.  The alternative is to disable all packages that
don't support static linking of executables if BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB is
selected.
