Bug found. Have a look at src/Makefile.am and you'll see why -enable-static 
try to link /usr/lib stuff. So there is definitively a bug there: the 
-enable-static only works on Linux. So either you add a -enable-static-osx 
with your own libs, which is not clean but will work, or we try to fix this 
-enable-static.

Who added this -enable-static and why is it this way? A long time ago I had a 
small .sh script that made the static build, I didn't put it into the 
configure because it was hacky and system dependant. I've the feeling someone 
thought it was good and added it to the configure build system.
