Hi,
I need to statically link a single extension (not all of them) by adding it to ext/Setup.
This worked until version 3.1.4 and 3.2.x.

It appears that this change broke it:
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/projects/ruby-master/repository/git/revisions/790cf4b6d0475614afb127b416e87cfa39044d67
https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/6756.

I have attached a script to reproduce the issue.

When running the script, ldd fails with:

ext/extinit.o: in function `Init_ext':
extinit.c:(.text+0x10): undefined reference to `ruby_init_ext'

[Bug #19592] Fix ext/Setup support

After 1, using ext/Setup to link some, but not all extensions failed
during linking. I did not know about this option, and had assumed that
only --with-static-linked-ext builds can include statically linked
extensions.

Include the support code for statically linked extensions in all
configurations like before 1. Initialize the table lazily to minimize
footprint on builds that have no statically linked extensions.
