We need pthreads on Unix and also dlopen some functions (e.g. PC/SC).
Building statically has never been intended.

Both should be supported but indeed we tweaked the build system some
time ago.  Gniibe: would you mind to check whether we can fix this?

I need to check this but actually this is teh same code as in gpg.

For our speedo build script we use our own hosted version of sqlite.
Actually you may want to use the speedo build method
(build-aux/speedo.mk) if you have many non-standard libraries.

Thanks for testing.
