Unlink static libraries before rebuilding them.

When the library already exists in the build directory, "ar" preserves
members not named on its command line.  This mattered when, for example,
a "configure" rerun dropped a file from $(LIBOBJS).  libpgport carried
the obsolete member until "make clean".  Back-patch to 9.0 (all
supported versions).
