since this flag was explicitly removed in pushbuild for GCOV builds.

 BUILD_CMD => ['sh', '-c', 'perl -i.bak -pe "s/ \\\\\$static_link//" ' .
              'BUILD/compile-pentium-gcov; BUILD/compile-pentium-gcov'],

Moving $static_link to SETUP.sh broke this, and is now fixed.

Should this flag be needed on some platforms,
the proper location is compile-<platform>-gcov

Tested the amd64 and pentium64 build fine without it, and can run NDB tests.
