Are you saying that `wx-config --libs` and `wx-config --libs -- 
static` produce two different outputs on your system?  If you built  
wx dynamically then either a) the output from --libs --static is  
nonsense, or b) it's the same as --libs.  Either way, the current  
acinclude will link the same way you linked wx.

As for the full static linking, --enable-static never performed a  
full static link, it only statically linked against wxWindows.   
Personally, I don't like static linking.  It creates huge  
executables, eats up memory, and slows down performance.  We should  
link dynamically wherever possible.
