I'm not an expert on these things, but presumably there is some option
for the linker that says "static link" isn't there? Ah yes, on Solaris,
"man ld" tells me
-B dynamic|static
Options governing library inclusion. -B dynamic
is valid in dynamic mode only. These options
may be specified any number of times on the com-
mand line as toggles: if the -B static option
is given, no shared objects will be accepted
until -B dynamic is seen.
Dunno if this is the same on Linux...
The makefile has the following as part of the line that builds the
eximon binary:
$(LIBS) $(LIBS_EXIMON) $(EXTRALIBS) $(EXTRALIBS_EXIMON)
so you can put these kinds of option in LIBS_EXIMON.
