I investigated this further and I think that you are following the wrong
trail with --disable-static.  Also, your assumption that the only options
that affect the C examples are --enable-dyndrivers, --with-double, and
--disable-static is wrong.  The option --disable-tcl *does* affect the C
example.

This is the minimal pair that I found:

    C examples segfault:
        ./configure --enable-dyndrivers   

    C examples work fine:
        ./configure --enable-dyndrivers --disable-tcl

I think I am getting close to the source of the problem and that has nothing
to do with --disable-static.

Alan, could you please confirm the minimal pair above?
