Ok, I just thought it might be helpful and possible to port the static linking
patch myself, but apparently I'm missing out too much context. I'm sorry that 
my remark
sounded a bit snarky. I just think this is not the right time to barrage the 
list
with patches that are not crucial to C5. I must admit that I do find it 
confusing when submitted
patches depend on earlier, still uncommitted and non-trivial patches. I'm 
getting
