[hobbit] Static compile

[David Baldwin]

Øyvind,

> We have tried to do a standard compile externally, but after copying, it fails to run due to some missing .so files.

I built a statically linked version. I found that I had to edit the
Makefile in the client directory. LDFLAGS doesn't get passed to the linker.

I built a client RPM for VMware ESX 3.5. It has an older glibc than
Centos 4.7 which was my build environment. The only binary that I needed
to statically link was logfetch since it uses regex functions not in the
earlier library, all the others still worked.

David.
