Have you ever bootstrapped MySQL++ successfully, or have you always used 
released tarballs?

If you've never bootstrapped MySQL++, it probably means you're missing 
some of the autotools, or they are too old.

If you have bootstrapped successfully before, it's very strange because 
this patch can't have affected autoconf, and AC_DISABLE_STATIC is a very 
old feature of autoconf, so why would it suddenly stop working?
