Right, building "run_unittests"s statically is probably a better
approach to handle this issue.  From a quick experiment it's possible
within the framework of automake: you should simply specify "-static"
to program-specific LDFLAGS, e.g.
run_unittests_LDFLAGS = $(AM_LDFLAGS) $(GTEST_LDFLAGS) -static
and just list libXXX.la's in the program's LDADD as before.

I'm not sure how portable the -static flag is, though.
