Hrm.  I don't even manage to statically compile it.  When I give 
--enable-static to ./configure it seems to just disregard it; ldd 
indicates as much anyway. When I tweak the LDFLAGS in the Makefile itself 
the compile breaks with hundreds of  "undefined reference to `PQfoobar'.
Removing the libpq*.so.* files makes either no difference, or makes it 
worse (configure telling me it can't find/use postgres at all)
I've been running around Googl'ing all day but I'm at a loss here...

Would that be another floppy or the same floppy the config tarball is on ?

There is a stretch of switched ethernet which -if devil-linux does its 
future job well enough- ought to be protected, thus trusted. ;-)
