It was added temporarily (!) at the end of 2001:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
r2989 | pl | 2001-11-19 01:38:41 +0100 (Mon, 19 Nov 2001) | 15 lines

more debugging in configure.log [temporary]
  (calls ldd to debug dependencies for [future] static support)

$_ld_x11 contains now $_ld_sock

improved x11 C test

libGL is no longer OS dependent (bsd) but depends on 2 compil' tests

preliminary support for -static:
  -static requires any test succeeds with that flag
  missing -logg for vorbis (triggered by -static)

NB: It still can't compile in static [undefined reference to... errors
:/ ]

------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm sending it right into the bit bucket in a moment ..  *sigh*
