Hmm, well, here's a start:

From the blender website,
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Doc/Building_Blender/Linux/Gentoo/CMake

"If you want to share your build with others you may want to include 
libraries with Blender (statically linked libraries)."

A command to list the necessary libraries for static linking:

OK, what next?

Has anyone on this list built a statically linked, 
distribution-independent GIMP for Linux in the last few years? If 
Blender can do it, surely GIMP also can be built as Alexandre suggests.
