Subject: [PATCH] Use `select` to disable building static binaries if
 `--cpu=darwin`.

This change allows kubectl to be built on MacOS machines using
`bazel build //cmd/kubectl`.

Mac OS X doesn't support static binaries because it does not have a
stable syscall API. Userspace binaries are expected to dynamically
link against libcrt instead.
