-If you want to compile statically, add "STATIC=1" to the make command-line.
+If you want to compile statically use ./configure --enable-static

+By default Dropbear adds various build flags that improve robustness 
+against programming bugs (good for security) - if these cause problems
+they can be disabled with ./configure --disable-harden
 
 Binaries can be stripped with "make strip"
