Um, so maybe I'm missing something (actually, I am for sure, since I
know I've done this before), but exactly *how* does one make BIND
9.1.0 link statically?

Adding -static to CFLAGS in bind-9.1.0/bin/named/Makefile does
precisely jack, and my notes from 8.2.2-p5 just say "link
statically" without illuminating how I did it...

(Incidentally, it's not the end of the world to just do an ldd on
named and toss copies of the appropriate libraries in the chroot,
but that's mighty clumsy.)
