The variable name is actually just 'library'. The default is set in
build/common.gypi. You can either change the default variable right in
build/common.gypi or set the environment variable
GYP_DEFINES=library=shared_library to get a shared library build.
(I have it modified locally in one of my checked-out Linux trees for
periodic sanity checks that Linux at least nominally builds with shared
libraries. IIRC, a lot of the Linux folks use shared library builds
regularly, for the much faster link times.)
