Comment:

 Replying to [ticket:325 vorner]:
 > When you run ./configure --disable-static, the make fails then, however
 --help mentions it. If we do not support static build, we should remove
 the option somehow.
 >
 > The CXXFLAGS variable has no effect, since it is overwritten
 unconditionally with -g in configure. Shouldn't -g be just a default when
 nothing is set?

 I believe I fixed these in r2976.  I intended to make it in a separate
 branch, but I accidentally committed it to trunk (I used git-svn interface
 and I failed to manage it correctly).  I think the diff is pretty
 straightforward and leave the change in trunk for now.  But could you
 review it anyway?

 The proposed changelog entry is as follows:

 {{{
   96.   [build]         jinmei
         Fixed two small issues with configure: Do not set CXXFLAGS so that
         it can be customized; Made sure --disable-static works.
         (Trac #325, r2976)
 }}}
