  Configure with --enable-static to make Gnash built static libraries, 
but these other libraries are system ones. Statically building Gnash 
just makes the Gnash libs be compiled in. If any of these libraries is 
static archive, then they'll be compiled in too, but in this case 
they're dynamic ones. I think there is an option to libtool to only 
statically link everything, I can see if it works.
