[poppler] Static build

[Ranjan Ghosh]

Hm. I tried to follow your advice and after fighting through a multitude 
of additional libraries that were missing, I now configure pdf2svg with 
this script:

#!/bin/bash

export CFLAGS="-static -lm -pthread "`pkg-config --cflags --static 
freetype2 poppler-cpp cairo lcms2 libtiff-4 libffi pixman-1 glib-2.0 
libpcre`

export LDFLAGS="-static -lm -pthread "`pkg-config --libs --static 
freetype2 poppler-cpp cairo lcms2 libtiff-4 libffi pixman-1 glib-2.0 
libpcre`

./configure


===

But, unfortunately, when running "make" I get this (especially I dont 
understand the missing sqrt because I specifically said lm; there are 
more weird errors about missing I'm just posting the first lines here):
