Move them to file scope.

On bug-gnu-emacs it was suggested in "emacs-22.1 with GTK problems (with 
patches)" that this in s/hpux.h:

/* USG systems tend to put everything declared static
   into the initialized data area, which becomes pure after dumping Emacs.
   Foil this.  Emacs carefully avoids static vars inside functions.  */

#define static

be removed, as it seems to interfere with threading.  How does that relate to 
the work you are doing?
