Roman,

The other approach I should of mentioned was configuring with --disable-
shared. Linking static libraries into shared libraries is prohibited on some
platforms, like Linux x86_64, due to lack of PIC (Position independent code).

Hope you got through this one way or another and its working well for you.
Suggested improvements welcome.
