[poppler] Static build

[Ranjan Ghosh]

Hi all,

I'm desperately trying to create a fully static build without any 
dependencies. I already got pretty far (IMHO) and build lots and lots of 
other dependent libaries statically (cairo, freetype etc.) without 
encountering any major problems.

Now, with poppler, I got a first compilation error but could solve it as 
discussed here:

https://www.mail-archive.com/poppler@lists.freedesktop.org/msg10543.html

With this patch:

https://github.com/mpsuzuki/poppler/commit/3f944ed5dee3496e7a7c661eabc3b16448316d13

Which worked fabulously. This should definitely be included in the main 
poppler branch, I guess, as it looks like it doesnt hurt anyone who isnt 
compiling statically - but OTOH is hugely helpful for those like me who 
dare to try it.

After that, make continues up until 71%:

Any help on how to overcome this problem would be much appreciated.

Thank you / BR
