problem with GTK application compiled statically on arm 9 platform

[aurelien bouin <aurelien bouin castel fr>]

Hello,
I am currently working on an application that use gtk 2.12.1 with glib
2.14.3 and DirectFB 1.1.0
I am cross compiling it in static for an ARM9(iMX27) for space
optimization
I have been using the tutorial
http://www.directfb.org/docs/GTK_Embedded/ which is very well done,
I just copy and paste gtktetris on my platform, and the application is
working... So I did the same with my application but unfortunately I get
some errors :

The application failed of the function "gtk_builder_add_from_file", I
read a lot of stuff and check if The platform could support gmodule, the
answer to the function "g_module_supported" was ok, I had to add some
flags to the compilation :`pkg-config --libs gmodule-2.0`
Actually when I am compiling the application in shared mode, the
application works...


You can see the final compilation line and the warnings :
