Subject: Static Ruby

Hi there,

typically I modify CFLAGS variable to include a pure
static version before compiling, as in:

  CFLAGS='-static'

This works for sed, grep, bash etc.. easily, but for ruby,
this does not seem to work as straight forward.

If i invoke certain scripts that use md5 or similar "add-ons"
I get errors such as:

  socket.so: undefined symbol: rb_eSecurityError

Sometimes different rb_e* Errors occur.

Someone else said that I should modify ext/Setup
but I am wondering whether this is the default route one
has to follow to get to a static version of ruby?

One reason i'd like to have it all inside one ruby
binary is that I dont want to have it fail if a host
lib is missing or broken.
(The size penalty is of no concern at all to me.)
