Description:
        I failed at building a statically linked, working bash. First of all, 
the only way to build is
        by giving the '--with-bash-malloc=no' argument to configure, because 
otherwise the linker will
        complain about multiple definitions of 'malloc' and 'free', which of 
course are present in libc.
        Even so, the binary resulting from the build will crash during startup, 
inside the getpwuid()
        function. I found a mail thread that describes a similar problem for 
bash-3.2 on Solaris
        http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2008-10/msg00011.html. Like 
the reporter, I configured
        my system to use LDAP for authentication. Only if I run bash as the 
root user, which is a local
        account outside the ldap directory, there is no crash and it appears to 
work.
        
        As a temporary workaround, I am currently using a dynamically linked 
bash.
