You need to apply the following patch:

CVS diff: tools
Index: tools/Rules.in
===================================================================
RCS file: /akce/projekty/bird/bird/tools/Rules.in,v
retrieving revision 1.14
diff -u -r1.14 Rules.in
--- tools/Rules.in	9 Jun 2000 06:31:43 -0000	1.14
+++ tools/Rules.in	19 Aug 2004 09:15:06 -0000

 CPPFLAGS=-I$(root-rel) -I$(srcdir) @CPPFLAGS@
 CFLAGS=$(CPPFLAGS) @CFLAGS@
-LDFLAGS=
+LDFLAGS=@LDFLAGS@
 LIBS=@LIBS@
 CLIENT_LIBS=@CLIENT_LIBS@
 CC=@CC@

which fixes a small bug in the build system, then you can use

	LDFLAGS="-static" ./configure

and `make' should produce static binaries.

				Have a nice fortnight
