BTW, I've been working on an i386 binary of pgadmin3 that is statically

If've managed to compile static version of libxml, libxslt, wxwidgets and
libpq, but configure fails for pgadmin3 because it doesn't know that it has
to pass "-lssl" when linking against that static libpq. AFAIK, libtool
ususally
takes care of that, and provides dependency information for static libs.

Neither wxwidgest nor postgres seem to create *.la files for my static
libs -
Does anyone know if they should - or how to deal with static linking
without
libtool?

I'm missing something I guess - whilst it only links statically with wx
and pg, we already have --enable-static which works fine on intel and
ppc macs. That's the option I now force on when building an appbundle.

acinclude.m4 seems to special-case static linking on osx, and
adds -lssl if it thinks that is needed. (I think it was me
who added that code, but I seem to have forgotten about it.. ;-) ).

I'm currently thinking that unconditionally adding the output
of pg_config --libs to LIBS if linking statically might
be a better approach - thoughts?
