[#STR-476] OSX: Linking problems with libraries from sdf2-bundle

Description

At Mac OS X, creating a dynamic library is not possible because of problems with the way libraries are being constructed in the sdf2-bundle packages. These packages don't use libtool yet, and libtool fixes some issues with library construction.

See:
http://nix.cs.uu.nl/dist/stratego/strategoxt-0.17M1pre13791/

Several solutions are suggested:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2005-06/threads.html#00179

I think that for the -fno-common we need to patch the sdf2-bundle, which is not desirable: then I'd rather change everything to libtool immediately.

Most likely, the single module option can be applied in Stratego/XT.

Testing that now ...

Workaround for now: build a static library only.

The sglr sources have been copied to Stratego/XT until this issue has been resolved (libjustsglr). We'll need to check how RC1 of the MetaEnvironment builds libraries.
