I said:

I've tried to build one of the nightly snapshots (2004-04-24) with static
libraries, but the linker fails.  After issuing ./autogen.sh, I issue
./configure --enable-static and then make.  If I omit the --enable-static
option, the make works fine.

A workaround is to issue

./configure --with-plugins=no --enable-static
