Isn't --enable-static and --enable-shared just for 'building'
shared/static libraries, not for actually linking in shared or static
libraries?

I think you need to specify all the .a files for the different libraries
(the static versions of the libs) when linking gedit. Not sure if there
is a 'good' way to do this, a quick scan of pkg-config/gcc/ld didn't
give me any pointers on how to do this easily. (pkg-config provides
--static, but I don't think that does the trick).
