Description of the problem / feature request:

There was a check to make sure that a c++ shared library is not being linked in twice in different configurations (https://cs.opensource.google/bazel/bazel/+/master:src/main/java/com/google/devtools/build/lib/rules/cpp/LibrariesToLinkCollector.java;drc=137b759c8f6d37d7512d621571aa9446d5c1ec4d;l=246). One of my tasks was to make it a rule error and loosen the restriction so that people can use transitions in they own custom rules (see #11721). During the testing I found out that in a setup with a transition, where dynamically linked libraries will give an error, using static linking causes both versions of the same library to be linked in. This should probably be an error or at least a warning. I didn't change that behavior in my PR.

Bugs: what's the simplest, easiest way to reproduce this bug? Please provide a minimal example if possible.

git clone https://github.com/agluszak/bazel-linking-twice.git
cd bazel-linking-twice
bazel build main
cat bazel-bin/main-2.params

What operating system are you running Bazel on?

gLinux

What's the output of bazel info release?

release 3.3.1
(binary built from my own branch #11721 shows the same behavior)

What's the output of git remote get-url origin ; git rev-parse master ; git rev-parse HEAD ?
