I see: Many GNOME *.pc files are broken, because Libs.private required
for static linking are missing. Default configure options are
inconsistent, causing even more problems.

I built all these libraries with the default configure options.

You have to explicitly use "./configure --enable-static" to build static
gtk+. Using "./configure", you will not get static library.

For consistency, "./configure" for libgnome should not provide static
library, too, or at least it must be able to produce working static
library stuff (correct .pc file) while using default configure options.

... If you don't use gmodule. pkg-config does the same.
