complibs: better deduce whether to backup complibs or not

To decide whether we need to backup the companion libraries,
do not rely on the !shared case. In the future other cases
may require not to save the companion libraries (eg. if using
the ones provided by the host distro).

     5  I am working on a powerpc 860 toolchain, but I am having problems  
     6  convincing glibc to not emit code that uses the dcbz instruction (CPU15  
     7  dcbX bug). The source of the problem is sysdeps/powerpc/power3/memset.S
