Unless I missed something, the 'static' directories of the
XFree-2.1 distribution on sun-lamp and iastate are links to
the shared version, with the exception of the servers themselves.
In particular, the bin package is the same and yields the 'no ld.so'
message when starting xinit. With 16384 bytes, xinit is also
a bit small to be statically linked...

Is there a true static version of XFree 2.1 around?
