I am not getting full static files even when I configure with
--disable-shared
A) This most often happens when using GNU LD. If both shared and
static versions of a library exist then GNU LD will take the
shared library as preferred. The root of this problem is libtool.
You can, however, force complete static images by adding a
definition to your "make" line:
make "LDFLAGS=-Wl,-static"
