We would like to create static binaries for installing agents and proxies on our systems to:

• create a single installation package for all the linux platforms in our environment
  (efficient installation, compiling and installation)
• to prevent problems while doing system-upgrades

—
cd zabbix-1.8.3
make distclean;
./configure --prefix=/tmp/zabbix \
--enable-static \
--enable-proxy \
--with-mysql \
&& make install

Compilation fails with:
