You can staticlink everything (for Allegro be sure to disable modules),

even go so far as staticlinking libc, in which case your programme should
just work on any Linux installation. However, there may be licensing issues
associated with staticlinking glibc, so be sure to check that.
You can static link glibc assuming you follow its license, which is a lgpl type license.  Basically it means you have to include a copy of their license in your readme.

Make sure you get the actual glibc license in there, as there are a bunch of clauses that are in addition to lgpl if i recall correctly.

For reference, to compile a static glibc with gcc you have to pass -static

Evert, how do you disable allegro's modules?
