[AD] static link

[Jon Rafkind <workmin@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I am trying to statically link a program with allegro, but am having 
trouble. Here is the compile line:

gcc prog.c -o prog -static `allegro-config --static`

allegro version 4.1.13. this compiles, but when I run it, it aborts as 
soon as allegro_init() is called. When -g3 -ggdb is added to the compile 
line and run in gdb, here is the backtrace:

Starting program: 
/home/kazzmir/archives/libs/allegro/allegro-4.1.13/examples/ex12bit

Program received signal SIG32, Real-time event 32.
0x08123f58 in sigsuspend ()
(gdb) bt
#0  0x08123f58 in sigsuspend ()
#1  0x080b3d78 in __pthread_wait_for_restart_signal ()
#2  0x080b371e in pthread_create ()
#3  0x08092e54 in bg_man_pthreads_init ()
#4  0x081fbec4 in max_func ()
(gdb)

I was quite sure I had got this to work some time ago, but forget how I 
did it. I dont know where to begin debugging this, anyone have any ideas?
