Hi,

I was trying to build the mjpegtools statically. By this I mean that I  
want to generate static binaries in my onw machine to be able to send  
them to another system where there is a different version of glibc and  
I can not install any kind of libraries.

I have tried the following:

export LDFLAGS=-static

as well as combining this with

./configure --enable-static-build

However neither give me static binaries, although they do not depend  
on any of the .so from libmjpeg they do use a shared glibc. What I  
have noticed is that although libtool is called with -static the next  
line generated by libtool does not include the -static therefor not  
producing a static binary. Looking up libtool man page it seemed to be  
that I should put LDFLAGS=-all-static, however that breaks the  
configure, because it tries to use LDFLAGS when testing if gcc is able  
to generate binaries. And -all-static is not a valid gcc flag.

To test my solution I added a -all-static after the configure into the  
makefile for some of the binaries and it worked. This is however a  
evil hack and should be fixed.
