We have a least-common-denominator Linux system.  We build the needed 
system libraries statically (such as curses).  We build our own gcc 
using the --disable-shared configure script option to avoid getting a 
shared C++ library.  Look in the Utilities/Release directory at the 
config_* files and the cmake_release.sh script for other details.
