Static linking protobuf for gnu64/musl64 fails due to libstdc++.so link attempt

[spease]

EDIT: I am also getting this now trying to build in CI under Linux

To Reproduce

nix build nixpkgs.pkgsCross.gnu64.pkgsStatic.protobuf

nix build nixpkgs.pkgsCross.musl64.pkgsStatic.protobuf

Looks like this is also similar to #76873 and #76877 and #99645

[spease]

As I mentioned in the audiofile ticket, my attempted workaround is this:

protobuf = super.protobuf.overrideAttrs (old: {
  preBuild = ''
    sed -iE "s|\([ ']\)[^ ]+libstdc\+\+\.la\([ ']\)|\1\2|g" src/*.la
  '';
});

However this doesn't appear to work because the .la files are not generated by the time of the preBuild hook. Can anyone help with this?
