json-autotype-3.0.0 build is broken because of hard-coded -static flag for ld #23

Hard-coding non-essential flags like -static in the Cabal file is a really bad idea. The current 3.0.0 release does not compile on any of my machines because of that issue. Note that many distributions don't ship any static libraries (like openSUSE, NixOS, ...) and then attempts to compile the package look like so:
