completely static build test failure

[Ralf Wildenhues]

Don't know if this is supposed to be supported.
Using CVS HEAD Libtool, building it with 

$ ../libtool/configure --disable-shared && make 

on linux-gnu/x86/gcc, makes this fail: 

$ make check VERBOSE=x TESTS='mdemo-static.test mdemo-make.test'

Is this supposed to work?
