Description
Build fails on platforms that prefer static linking, here Cray:
```
Linking C executable autotee_test
cd /global/homes/b/boehme3/src/GOTCHA/build-cori/src/example/autotee && /usr/bin/cmake -E cmake_link_script CMakeFiles/autotee_test.dir/link.txt --verbose=1
/opt/cray/pe/craype/2.5.7/bin/cc CMakeFiles/autotee_test.dir/test_autotee.c.o -o autotee_test -rdynamic libautotee.so ../../libgotcha.so.0.0.1 -Wl,-rpath,/global/homes/b/boehme3/src/GOTCHA/build-cori/src/example/autotee:/global/homes/b/boehme3/src/GOTCHA/build-cori/src
/usr/bin/ld: attempted static link of dynamic object 'libautotee.so'
src/example/autotee/CMakeFiles/autotee_test.dir/build.make:90: recipe for target 'src/example/autotee/autotee_test' failed
make[2]: *** [src/example/autotee/autotee_test] Error 1

Research direction
Start with the verbose build command for src/example/autotee and inspect CMakeFiles/autotee_test.dir/link.txt, focusing on how libautotee.so and ../../libgotcha.so.0.0.1 are linked on Cray. Reproduce the failure on a static-preferring platform and verify that the autotee_test target builds successfully without the attempted static link of a dynamic object.
