I'm not what "build statically" means; if you talking about building a statically linked interpreter binary - then no, this is not possible. At a minimum, you need to link with -ldl, or else you cannot perform dlopen(3).

I'm trying to run python scripts on a stripped down FreeBSD (4.9)
machine which has no shared system libraries so I want to link it
statically against libc et al, but it would be nice to still be
able to load modules which were built as shared libraries.

Does that system support shared libraries? What is the API for loading shared libraries, and finding a symbol in a dynamically-loaded shared library, on that system?

In
particular I have a library for which I've generated a wrapper
with swig which I'd like to import.

If shared libraries are not supported, you could link the swig module statically as well.

Martin
