#48 static (RPM) build fails on aix

[Elrond]

Hi again,

On aix, libdb can't be linked statically (don't ask
why).

(If you want to reproduce this on linux, try removing
/usr/lib/libdb.a.)

This thing has two issues:

1) configure should IMHO check for -static after having
found all libraries, so it can check, that the
libraries can be linked statically as well.

2) The rpm build likely crashes (don't know yet) since
it expects statically linked binaries to exist around
the place.
For this one I have no good hints on how to fix it. One
could surround the static parts in the .spec by some
%if do_static or the like, but since I don't know
enough about rpm, I have no idea, on how practicable
that is.

For the fun of it, I have appended my HACK to the spec
to get it working on aix. It builds a fake -static.rpm.

HACK to get rpm build work on my box

Thanks to a recent report and suggestion (patch) by Ronald
Cole, the CVS version of bogofilter (as of
bogofilter.spec.in revision 1.64) no longer builds the
static rpm unless requested with rpm --define 'bogostatic 1'
-bb bogofilter.spec

Please check if this works for you on AIX either with a
CVS-checked out code (type: make dist bogofilter.spec to
generate the tarball and spec file) or with the next
bogofilter release.
