Hi,

in fact static tarball does have problem with my 13.10 64 bits ubuntu version.

I really do share the interest of Miguel but since i don't code i don't talk.

By the way, the svn version compiles and works like a charm under ubuntu 12.04 but shows some bugs under saucy.

OK, then I have a nice challenge for you: produce a static rpm which works
on all Intel Linux architectures, evn those from about ten years ago.
Our current X11 static tarballs have this property.
