Yep. First, Libtool questions are best asked on one of the Libtool lists. Then, AC_DISABLE_SHARED causes the package to *build* static libraries by default only. To link statically against libraries, you can use -static to prevent shared linking against uninstalled libtool libraries. Libtool versions between 1.5 and 1.5.20 including also linked statically against installed libtool libraries if you used -static; but that is somewhat inconsistent, and wasn't used before. So, 1.5.22 doesn't do that. To accommodate, 1.5.24 will allow a new flag, -static-libtool-libs, to achieve this. Linking statically against non-libtool libraries can only be done with -all-static, which tries to link everything statically, but which works on less and less systems. We plan to add per-deplibs flags for shared or static linking (a patch to this end has been posted, but postponed to after 2.0).
