I'm not sure what you mean by "standard distribution". You don't have prebuilt
binaries for --disable-shared on Linux, do you? The scripts I mentioned don't
patch the sources in any way, they just use standard configure options to configure
and build the sources on Linux.

I haven't done a Linux native build in ages, though. I can try again, but I'd need to
pull down the 3.3 sources. And I don't use SWT (though I recall successfully using
JNI). And I didn't test on a machine without gcc installed. I don't think I have a
Linux box without gcc installed. (Wait, maybe the web server.)

Erik would probably be a better person to validate this initially because he seems
more readily able to test this. But in a pinch, I might be able to figure this out.
