Static library for gcc compiling

[Matthias David Siebler]

I believe this is due to the fact that you cannot use the dynamic 
library from a static image.

I think the reason is that libdl.so actually uses the dynamic runtime 
linker to resolve the symbols.  Static images do not have access to 
this, so the library will not work.

Can someone with a better understanding of this issue confirm this for 
me?  Thanks,

Matthias
