[PlanetCCRMA] PDa compile in fedora core 5 (gcc 4.1)

[damien lock]

hi all.

i am not really experienced in linux development, but i have one  
question i cant find an answer to:

i am compiling a well tested package from source (Gunter Geiger's  
PDa). It requires static linking, however when i compile in fedora  
core 5 (planet ccrma distro) using gcc 4.1, for some reason the  
linking is dynamic:

i.e. ("pd" is the resulting binary file)
file pd
pd: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/ 
Linux 2.6.9, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux  
2.6.9, not stripped

I believe the relevant part of the make file is:
static:
make pd_SRC="$(pd_SRC) $(extra_SRC)" DEFINES="-DPD -DUNIX -DSTATIC" \
      pd pd-gui pd-watchdog $(BIN_DIR)/pdsend \
      $(BIN_DIR)/pdreceive  $(BIN_DIR)/pd.tk


This problem occurs when i compile for either host target, or another  
target. I checked with gunter who confirmed there should be no edits  
required in the makefile for it to compile as static.

any ideas or hints you may have will be appreciated.

thanks
