Maybe, though in Linux/Unix is quite fast and it works in most cases.
The problem is that autoconf is too *nix so it is unnatural for/on
windows.

I assume you use gcc. You could check -static, but would not recommend
that.

Keep in mind LGPL do not allow linking statically your .exe against a
library because it removes the possibility that might have a user to
upgrade the LGPL portion of your installer without requiring your
sources.

Yes, is the base axl directory that was compiled.
