libraries & static linking

[Fergus Henderson]

The test cases on munta (mips-sgi-irix5.3) are failing, due to problems
with `-lsocket': on that system, some grades require static linking,
but there is no static version of `-lsocket'.

The test cases on quicksilver (i568-pc-linux-gnu) are failing too, due
to problems with `-ldl': on Linux, static linking is the default,
but on quicksilver there is no static version of `-ldl'.

Any suggestions on what we should do about either of these?
