 Description   

The current approach is to build static & dynamic libraries by default; we should investigate if it's feasible to only build static|dynamic as needed.

This is effectively resolved by SERVER-84746

So this seems like we can just throw compute at this and then it won't be a problem since the faster of the two will just be used for what is needed. However, the last step of linking the final binary it is crucial that we can toggle between using the sos and the archives. The former is significantly slower at startup and 3%ish slower after filling out some caching things. However, the latter will take significantly longer to link. So a dev will often link the sos for fast iteration but we use the archives for release builds. Does that part of the requirement make sense?

Note: lower priority (for now); this is a future optimization.
