[REQUEST]: Support for compiled C libraries

[mattgodbolt]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

Trying to get lzma working in C. It compiles statically, and there's a bunch of special casing to handle cshared libraries, but not for C. In this instance a C library can be used as-is pretty much by any compiler I think?

Describe the solution you'd like

Ideally a way of getting a C library built and used.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I naively tried using the C++ build setup and it builds just fine but isn't available in C (no build for it).
