I can't tell from a configure parameters whether a given library will
be shared or not, only from looking at the compiler command line. I
know that if you pass in -static to g++/gcc when compiling and when
linking, then you'll get a statically linked executable.

The C++ hello world program went from a measly 7K to 2.9Mb.

buildroot supports both shared and dynamic. You just need to pass in
the correct flags.

Just make sure that -static is passed to both the compiler and linker
portions and you should be good to go.

This is usually a power issue. What boards do you have? and what are
you using as a power supply?
