I was waiting to see what changes you required to libmthca.  However I
don't really see the point of deleting AC_DISABLE_STATIC -- if someone
wants a static library then all that's required is passing
"--enable-static" to the configure script.  What am I missing?

I guess I will apply the patch to libibverbs to call openib_driver_init
if it's linked in directly.
