libdbus / static linking?

[David Reitter]

Is it possible to statically link libdbus?

I tried "-static" in LDFLAGS, but that fails strangely in ./configure (compiler 
can't build executables: gcc 4.0.1 on a Mac).  Is this supposed to work, and 
worth further investigation?

The reason for this is that I'm running into problems with binary compatibility 
of emacs and the dynamically linked dbus lib, when one is compiled for X86_64, 
and the other for the i386 architecture.
