cabal: Failed to build exe:tldr from tldr-0.6.2.

I don't think -optl-static is something that should ever be in a .cabal file.

@hasufell Thanks for the report. I assumed it would work on the Linux distros (seemed to work on the CI and Stackage servers), that's why I added it as a condition compilation for Linux. Anyway, I will fix this the coming weekend (unless you want to send me a PR before!). Thanks!

New version has been release to hackage.
