[linux-lvm] building LVM2 static fails

[Dave Jiang]

Has anyone compiled LVM2 successfully with static linking?
./configure --enable-static_link

gcc -o lvm.static dumpconfig.o formats.o lvchange.o lvconvert.o 
lvcreate.o lvdisplay.o lvextend.o lvmchange.o lvmcmdline.o lvmdiskscan.o 
lvreduce.o lvremove.o lvrename.o lvresize.o lvscan.o polldaemon.o 
pvchange.o pvcreate.o pvdisplay.o pvmove.o pvremove.o pvscan.o 
reporter.o segtypes.o toollib.o vgcfgbackup.o vgcfgrestore.o vgchange.o 
vgck.o vgcreate.o vgconvert.o vgdisplay.o vgexport.o vgextend.o 
vgimport.o vgmerge.o vgmknodes.o vgreduce.o vgremove.o vgrename.o 
vgscan.o vgsplit.o lvm-static.o -static -Wl,--export-dynamic -L../lib 
-L/lib -llvm -ldevmapper \
         -ldl  -rdynamic
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ldevmapper
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [lvm.static] Error 1
make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

Why is autoconf still attempting dynamic linking while with -static? I 
can build successfully without --enable-static_link.
