Another configure annoyance. The command line parameter to disable 
shared code is typically --disable-shared. I don't recall having seen 
--without-pic before. You may want to do configure --help and see if 
either of them show up. If neither does, it is probably --disable-shared.

Be warned, compiling with --disable-shared has problems too. I don't 
recall successfully compiling any gtk+ 2.8.* statically.
