[RFC][gdb] Handle static libipt

Hello Tom,
Libipt master does not require a constructor, anymore.
Do we need GDB to be able to statically link to old versions of libipt?
Until recently, libipt wouldn't even allow building a static library.
Would it suffice if we fixed this with a libipt release?
Markus.
