bind-9 and static

Hi all,

I've got bind-9 compiled and running on a RH62 box, but would like to
investigate running it in a chroot with a static named.

However, the configuration has changed so drastically from 8.2.2, I'm
unable to determine exactly where this should be configured. I'm currently
using:

# ./configure --with-libtool --enable-static

which compiles the libraries statically, but not the binaries. If I
recreate the gcc line that was used to link named with -static, it works
correctly, but I just can't figure out where it is best placed within the
Makefiles/configure scripts.

Also, is it required for the actual named binary to be within the chrooted
environment, or does the '-t /path' supply everything that's necessary for
this to be done?

Thanks,
Dave
