903	nginx 1.9.11+: Can`t build static nginx any more	Emmeran Seehuber		"I try to always be up to date with nginx, and build nginx myself as a static module. This allows me to deploy nginx to my different environments (testing, production) without any library dependency problems. Till nginx 1.9.10 this worked like Charme. 

I`ve got this directory layout for my build directory:

- nginx
  - openssl-1.0.2f
  - nginx_src

nginx_src is a git checkout of the git mirror. 


I use this script to build nginx:

{{{
#!/bin/sh
cd nginx_src/
make clean
./auto/configure \
        --with-http_ssl_module \
        --with-http_v2_module \
        --with-http_realip_module \
        --with-http_gzip_static_module \
        --without-http_scgi_module  \
        --without-http_uwsgi_module  \
        --without-http_fastcgi_module \
        --with-openssl=../openssl-1.0.2f \
        --prefix=/etc/nginx \
        --conf-path=/etc/nginx/nginx.conf \
        --error-log-path=/var/log/nginx/error.log \
        --http-client-body-temp-path=/var/lib/nginx/body \
         --http-log-path=/var/log/nginx/access.log \
         --http-proxy-temp-path=/var/lib/nginx/proxy \
         --lock-path=/var/lock/nginx.lock \
         --pid-path=/var/run/nginx.pid \
        --with-ld-opt=""-Bstatic -static -static-libgcc -static-libstdc++ -static -Bstatic""   

make
}}}

This script worked fine till 1.9.10.  Now I get this linker error:

If I add '-ldl' at the end of the linker command line, it works and correctly links nginx.

}}}

This problem happens with the 1.9.11 tag and with current master. I did not find a way to fix this problem with configure parameters. Am I missing something? For now I just will patch the generated Makefile and append -ldl. 

Thanks and keep up the good work!"	defect	closed	major		nginx-core	1.9.x	fixed			Linux nginx-build-server 3.11.0-15-generic #25~precise1-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jan 30 17:39:31 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux	"nginx version: nginx/1.9.12
