initially I tried

LD=/opt/condor/lib/ld ./configure --enable-condor

and that failed to link with the error:

/usr/bin/ld: attempted static link of dynamic object
`/home/ram/opt/lal/lib/liblalsupport.so'

so I then tried:

LD="/opt/condor/lib/ld -static" ./configure --enable-condor

and that failed with the same error. Looking at the actual linker
line, all the libraries it is trying to link against are dynamic not
static. I tried doing exactly the same using the current libtool,
1.4.2 IIRC, and the first command above brings in static versions of
all the libraries and therefore works.

After speaking to some of the local condor experts at work, they think
that condor _may_ be quite sensitive to libtool version but I'm unable
to find any details regarding this in the condor manual. I'm going to
contact the condor developers to see if they can shed any light on
this situation.
