[PATCH] Makefile: Improve support for static linking.

From: Peter Simons <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:42:56
Subsystem: kernel build + files below scripts/ (unless maintained elsewhere), the rest · Maintainers: Nathan Chancellor, Nicolas Schier, Linus Torvalds

The naive approach to build a statically linked git toolset, "make
LDFLAGS=-static", fails for two reasons:

 * Libraries git depends on might depend on other libraries this
   Makefile can't know about. Curl, for example, can be compiled with or
   without support for international domain names. If that capability is
   compiled in, linking curl needs "-lidn". Also, static linking often
   adds a dependency on dlopen() and friends, so "-ldl" must be
   specified too.

 * Linking statically requires the libraries to be specified in top-down
   order.

Guessing how to build a static binary on any given platform is quite
difficult, but this patch gets us a littler closer to that goal. The
changes are:

 * Support "make LIBS=-ldl".

 * Use curl-config(1) to determine $CURL_LIBCURL defaults.

 * Reorder $LIB_4_CRYPTO to "-lssl -lcrypto" (if NEEDS_SSL_WITH_CRYPTO).

 * Always specify $BASIC_LIBS (formerly $LIBS) last.
