I don't think you want to do this. The definition STATIC alters the behaviour
of the #included "lib/inflate.c" which is used for uncompressing ramdisks. I
think you'll find do_mounts.c may not even compile with it undefined since it
will now look for a missing "gzip.h" header.

James,
lib/inflate.c has a patch as well to remove STATIC.
