static compile of rsync

I added the "-static" to my CC environment:
bash> export CC=-static

bash> ./configure; make

here are my last few output lines from make:

just as you say. won't build static compile.

just wondering... what if I create a library directory with all
of the dependences and ship it with rsync. could I just create
a script to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH env var to that lib prior
to running rsync? would not that work in far away hosts?

You'll have to supply -static as an additional CC flag.
Probably this is possible by calling configure with CC=-static appended
to your list of options (if any).

Be aware that at least when using glibc, a number of things are always
dynamic, e.g the nsswitch stuff (for host lookups etc.) If the targets
are linux systems, then the safest way is to build appropriate
packages...
