So I'm vaguely suspecting that some of the dynamic linker magic this thing's 
doing is contributing to the screw up (or at least the complexity of 
debugging it), so I thought I'd statically link.

If I ./configure --static the result doesn't build, it dies during linking.  
Is this expected?  (Do I need to install .a versions of all the alsa and x11 
libraries to make that work?)

I realize releases are a bit out of fashion, but is there any way to go 
through cvs to track down which checkin broke this stuff?  I can do it in 
git, mercurial, or subversion.  But cvs isn't really set up for this sort of 
thing...
