Whether ld chooses static or dynamic would also depend on the executable
output format as well. a.out cannot be linked dynamically, elf format
can. The default is probably chosen on the output type, static for a.out
and dynamic for elf (and falling back to the .a file if the .so file is
not present). The language choice could be made by ld if called from cc
or cpp or f77 (I never invoke ld directly myself), but I've never
checked this on point (although I eventually will, just out of
curiousity).
