Subject: configure: generate a fully statically linked exec
X-Git-Tag: upstream/0.12.0~42
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=cdc01faed2b92f43a58cb86ff3300af1322cfaf6;p=platform%2Fupstream%2Fnodejs.git

configure: generate a fully statically linked exec

Allow to create an executable with no external dynamic libraries, also the
ones from the system. This is somewhat dependent of the used C lib, for
example glibc has some internal dynamic libraries loaded by itself, but for
other ones like eglibc or dietlib, this would produce a true static linked
executable. This can be of interest for embebers or resource constraints
platforms, but the main reason for this is to allow to use a Javascript
file as Linux kernel 'init' on NodeOS.
