trivial, like any other application. Just tell the compiler to link
statically rather than dynamic.

please note that you often get less efficient versions of several
libraries when compiling statically. For example, if you compile an
application statically to on RedHat Linux then you get the i386 version
of the library rather than the more efficient i686 library. If you are
using things like OpenSSL (https_port) then this can make a huge
different (up to 100% speed increase measured)
