[syslog-ng] syslog-ng-2.1.3: 'Configure' failed on Solaris 8 using --enable-static-linking

[Joost De Cock]

Somebody much more knowledgeable then me said here: 
https://lists.balabit.hu/pipermail/syslog-ng/2009-January/012392.html

"Checking out the glib source, glib does not seem to be prepared to be 
used in static linking, but I may be wrong here."

Seems you'll have to proof Bazsi wrong if you want this ;-)
