both_libraries: Make sure to select the right linker for static lib

Regression test: libccpp has both C and C++ sources. The executable only
has C sources. It should still link using the C++ compiler. When using
both_libraries the static has no sources and thus no compilers,
resulting in the executable linking using the C compiler.
