Has anyone compiled LVM2 successfully with static linking?
./configure --enable-static_link

gcc -o lvm.static dumpconfig.o formats.o lvchange.o lvconvert.o 
lvcreate.o lvdisplay.o lvextend.o lvmchange.o lvmcmdline.o lvmdiskscan.o

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ldevmapper
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [lvm.static] Error 1
make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

Why is autoconf still attempting dynamic linking while with -static? I 
can build successfully without --enable-static_link.
