XF 4.0.1/4.0.2 from Xsrc aprox 25 mar. 2001 ?

>Description:

When X is started with `startx' it boots up perfectly. However when a 
program is run that needs a symbol - say in libm - the dynamic loader loads 
resolves that symbol (my hypothesis). It can't find it and then bombs out 
.. From observations it looks that it isnt the internal ELF loader in X 
that is breaking... 

>How-To-Repeat:
Start a dynamically linked XFree86 binary build from xsrc. If it isnt 
failing when you move the mouse pointer to a window start a program like Xv 
or so ... it will bomb out.

>Fix:
Add the -static flag when linking the XFree86 binary in
../xsrc/xfree/xc/programs/XServer or just delete and relink the XFree86
binary with :

make LOCAL_LDFLAGS="-static"
make install

The resulting statically linked XFree86 wont bomb out anymore due to 
linking errors.
