Subject: [PATCH] build-python: Build the native libffi as a static library
 only

This fixes importing the _ctypes module, if a shared libffi doesn't
happen to exist on the host system with the right so version.
Since Python 3.12, such a build error ends up failing the build,
while it previously passed silently even if some parts of the build
had failed.
