What happens?

libduckdb_static.a is not part of the release but it's not usable because it doesn't include the various dependencies needed (for example the ones in the third_party folder).
For anyone writing a program to access duckdb programmatically, currently they cannot statically link to the provided libduckdb_static.a because of those missing references.

I first opened a discussion #9451 and was told to file this issue.

To Reproduce

Write a program using the C api such as db_connect, db_disconnect, and etc and try to link the program using the provided libduckdb_static.a.
