Errors and warnings on static link of octave 2.1.67

[Liping Zhu]

Hi,

I need to statically install octave 2.1.67 on  Redhat FC3, gcc 3.4.2.  
'make' complained with the warnings and errors listed below. The 
warnings are about requiring the shared libraries from glibc at 
runtime.  So do these warnings mean that fully static installation of 
octave is a mission impossible? Can anybody give me a clue?

Thanks.
