Shared builds work fine. It's only static builds that fail.

I didn't want to use shared libraries because I'm distributing an 
application and it's difficult to bundle shared libraries with an 
application. I wrote some perl scripts that help me change the library 
names and paths which ease the process, so I guess I will do that from 
now on. I haven't found any way to do this automatically. Perhaps there 
is a better way I have overlooked, but I'm not well versed in OS X 
development tools.

Have you tried it with --disable-shared? It doesn't seem to work. Also 
requires libgcrypt to have a shared version built, which in turn 
requires libgpg-error to be built shared.

Someone told me to change to the lib subdirectory and make from there. 
That's what I've been doing and it lets me eliminate the patch.
