If you can install the static versions of these libraries:

$GLIB_LIBS $EVTLOG_LIBS $PCRE_LIBS $REGEX_LIBS

Then those dependencies will be statically linked into the
syslog-ng/pdbtool binary, but libsyslog-ng.so will always be linked
dynamically. Not to mention that even pdbtool tries to load plugins.

So as of right now, you can't move the binaries to different boxes.

But I have good news as well, I've integrated gyp's patches to mainline,
cleaned them up, removed memory leaks and also decreased memory usage a
lot.

So you don't need gyp's tree, it is enough to use the mainline.
