I'm glad to be so "rare"... It seems I belong to the 1%: I have a dynamic build. ;) Please also note that the patch attached reintroduce your code concerning the static link of the rest of the libs (libpq and sons).
However, you are the ac guru and I'm fully satisfied by a dynamic linking with the new acinclude.m4 (+ the configure.ac patch). The real question is: - do we still need "full" static linking (at least libpq, ssl,..?).
If yes, then the new acinclude.m4 does not provide it anymore and we need to rework on it.
Are you saying that `wx-config --libs` and `wx-config --libs -- static` produce two different outputs on your system? If you built wx dynamically then either a) the output from --libs --static is nonsense, or b) it's the same as --libs. Either way, the current acinclude will link the same way you linked wx.
As for the full static linking, --enable-static never performed a full static link, it only statically linked against wxWindows. Personally, I don't like static linking. It creates huge executables, eats up memory, and slows down performance. We should link dynamically wherever possible.
