petsc+shared fails on docker container builds

@chapman39 is already working on this.

Since Sep 3, 2026.

petsc fails with the following issue when built as shared:

> undefined reference to symbol 'MPI_Bcast'
> DSO missing from command line

it probably has to do with the ordering of the shared libraries. or maybe petsc is using some other mpi.
