Okay, I'm thoroughly out of my depth here.

I've been trying to figure out on IRIX how to build a static shell (mksh and tcsh 6.20 - replacing the old and buggy shell versions) and I'm not able to for some reason.

Many of these don't have a static configure option so I've tried:

gmake SHARED=0 CC=c99 CFLAGS=-static

That will pass -static with c99 to the binary, but....

ldd tcsh
        libcurses.so  =>         /usr/lib32/libcurses.so
        libc.so.1  =>    /usr/lib32/libc.so.1

Meanwhile, I can't find with nm any dynamic symbols. 

So what should I believe here? And am I just a moron who overlooked something?
