Proven wasn't aware of the existence of the --enable-shared
option, so when he tried to explain the need for this option, I tried
to put his comments into the context of something we didn't already
have. The result of about fifteen minutes of confusion based on this
false start was the --enable-static-binaries option.
After getting together with Ted, this option has been dropped,
and if shared libs are built, they are used for all binaries. On AIX,
only shared libs are built. We're using a rather disgusting hack to
conditionalize Makefile fragments (somewhat different then the hack
Tom checked in), but the static library builds can be conditionalized
on a per-architecture basis.
This actually really isn't that different than what we had,
and if I hadn't sent out the first message, I probably wouldn't be
sending this. Sorry about the confusion.
