Nmap static build fails

[Florian Roth <venom14 () gmail com>]

I tried to compile Nmap with static libraries as I was asked to
install nmap on a SuSE Linux Enterprise Server x64 in a DMZ
environment.
Solving the dependencies for the RPMs made me crazy. (missing: libsvn
-> libneo -> neo -> libserf (only sources) many dependencies ... and
so on ... never ending story)

So I thought that size is no object and tried to compile nmap statically.
A simple "./configure --without-ssl" and "make static" failed. (error
message see below)
The error is the same using the 6.01, 5.61 and 5.36 sources. (example
below showing the 5.36 sources compiling tests)

I tried:

./configure --without-openssl --without-zenmap --with-pcap=linux
--with-liblua=included --with-libpcap=internal  --enable-static
--without-ndiff --without-nping

===================
make

"make static" fails.

I guess it has something to do with the "binutils" package.

Is there anything I can do or try?
