openssh unix dev - Jan 2002 - Compile SSH static on Solaris 2.7 (64Bit)

I like to compile ssh-3.0.2 on Solaris 2.7 with 64 Bit support in static
mode. But I get a fatal error. The compilation with shared libraries is
working very fine. Does anyone has ideas to compile OpenSSH cleanly in
static mode?

Not possible.

result number 7 for the Google search "static link solaris libnsl".

As pointed out, this is not possible. Not that easily anyway...there
are many pro's and cons to this. 

Also see http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-help/2001-10/msg00303.html

Add -lnsl -lsocket here. It might break down the road though...
