i think static linking has very low priority.
it just needs for gabucino to compile binary for his 386 osr what...

static linking means for gcc: link only functions which are really called.
so gcc test.c -lwhatever never will fail, until test.c actually uses
functions of whatever.
i think there is a workaround:
gcc -rdynamic test.c -lwhatever

-rdynamic forces gcc to link every public symbols as they may be called from
dyn linked libs only at runtime.

anyway -rdynamic requires for xanim support as well at final linking stage.

ok. i'll do now file swapping/renaming at CVS.
configure -> configure.old (will be removed soon)
configure2 -> configure

i hope it won't cause cvs versioning conflicts...
(version of c2 much bigger than c1, so it shouldn't)
