Non-dynamic executables can raise OSError when importing ctypes
because dlopen(NULL) is called on module import and dlopen()
won't work on non-dynamic executables.
This commit teaches the glibc version sniffing module to
handle a missing or not working ctypes module.
With this change applied,
pip install
works on non-dynamic / fully statically linked Python executables on Linux.
