As described in the ticket, this fixes mongosh's build on x64 macOS
with Node.js 24, even though we haven't fully investigated why
that is the case.
Making these variables `static` is a good idea anyway since they
are not meant to be used by other compilation units or loaded
from the kerberos addon.
Without this patch, we receive:
