Description

I'm passing these flags to CMake:

"-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release"
"-DARROW_WITH_ZSTD=off"
"-DARROW_WITH_LZ4=off"
"-DARROW_BUILD_TESTS=off"
"-DARROW_BUILD_STATIC=off"

Based on that, I expect arrow to build only shared libraries. However, the build process fails when ld tries to link against 'arrow_static':
