No, it's whatever your linker (gcc or ld) builds by default. What I do
(and this is probably a very ugly hack) is to force all packages to be
built statically by moving /usr/bin/gcc (or /usr/local/bin/* if it is
there) to /usr/bin/gcc2, then put this script in /usr/bin/gcc:

#!/bin/sh
exec gcc2 -static "$@"

chmod +x this script or you won't be able to compile anything with it.

(Some packages do not use gcc for linking - they use ld, g++, c++, cc,
etc. You will need to set up a similar script for the linker that they
use.)

Are you using SW81 glibc to build it? Are you using _only_ SW81
regular & development packages for its dependencies?

Does /dev/sequencer exist? Have you set up your sound modules for
MPU-401 (MIDI port)? I've never tried playing to a MIDI keyboard on
BL3 - maybe I should dig out my keyboard for testing?
