[svn-r17441] Purpose:

    Merge from trunk

Description:

    Merged revisions 17228 and 17440 from trunk to 1.8

    Specifically, this brings support of --enable-static-exec flag into 1.8

Tested:

    Manually on jam, linew, smirom, liberty, plus h5committest.

    Currently, there is no automatic regression test that exists due to
    portability issues. Behavior is both different and undefined on certain
    systems (and while 'nm' command seems to exist on all machines, behavior
    is confirmed to be different on Mac, possibly others). Solution will be 
    to set up some sort of framework in daily tests to build statically, 
    remove shared paths, and verify executables can function.
