Static QEMU Build fails

I'm trying to build QEMU 1.2.0 with --static:

  LINK  qemu-ga
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgthread-2.0
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lglib-2.0
qemu-sockets.o: In function `inet_listen_opts':
/home/ashutosh/man-builds/qemu-1.2.0/qemu-sockets.c:141: warning: Using 'getaddrinfo' in statically linked applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from the glibc version used for linking
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [qemu-ga] Error 1

But as far as I can see, everything is fine with glib-2.0 and gthread-2.0:

# pacman -Qs glib2
local/glib2 2.32.4-1

# ld --verbose | grep /usr/lib
SEARCH_DIR("/usr/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib64"); SEARCH_DIR("/usr/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib"); SEARCH_DIR("/usr/lib"); SEARCH_DIR("/usr/local/lib");

# ls /usr/lib/libgthread-2.0.so*
/usr/lib/libgthread-2.0.so    /usr/lib/libgthread-2.0.so.0.3200.4
/usr/lib/libgthread-2.0.so.0

# ls /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so*
/usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so    /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0.3200.4
/usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0

I can build QEMU without --static though. Any ideas are welcome!

Re: Static QEMU Build fails

Maybe it is looking for statically linked versions of the libraries? I'm pretty sure  that .so on Linux just are dynamically linked versions of libraries i.e. I think that's what the .so extension indicates. Definitely e.g. libglib-2.0.so is dynamically linked (check with ldd).

Re: Static QEMU Build fails

Had the same problem, rebuilt glib2 with --enable-static flag in ./configure and it worked.
