BTW, if you really need statically linked binaries, like we did, you can 
solve this by adding these options to your link command (exact values 
depend on the particular OS/linker you are using and how it mangles 
symbols--this example is for gcc and gnu linker on Linux):

	-u _omni_CS_8859_1_should_be_linked_but_is_not_ \
	-u _omni_CS_UTF_8_should_be_linked_but_is_not_ \
	-u _omni_CS_UTF_16_should_be_linked_but_is_not_
