complibs/ppl: fix 0.11-0.11.2 to compile with --disable-shared

PPL 0.11 (through 0.11.2) had a small bug where it still tried to build
and test its Java interface even when shared libraries are disabled.
Since that's exactly what ct-ng does, it explodes.

This is the patch from the PPL authors (see final link below).

     4 we cant assume sock_cloexec and pipe2 are bound together as the former defines
     5 are found in glibc only while the latter are a combo of kernel headers and
     6 glibc.  so if we do a runtime detection of SOCK_CLOEXEC, but pipe2() is a stub
     7 inside of glibc, we hit a problem.  for example:
     8 
     9 #include <grp.h>
    10 #include <stdio.h>
    11 main()
    12 {
    13 	getgrnam("portage");
    14 	if (!popen("ls", "r"))
    15 		perror("popen()");
    16 }
    17 
    18 getgrnam() will detect that the kernel supports SOCK_CLOEXEC and then set both
    19 __have_sock_cloexec and __have_pipe2 to true.  but if glibc was built against
    20 older kernel headers where __NR_pipe2 does not exist, glibc will have a ENOSYS
    21 stub for it.  so popen() will always fail as glibc assumes pipe2() works.
