[svn-r17228] Purpose:

    Fix BZ #1583

Description:

    The --enable-static-exec flag was broken. Configure was adding the 
    -all-static linker flag to an environment variable which was subsequently
    never used. (looks like it was used in 1.6 Makefile.ins, but never
    moved to 1.8's Makefile.ams when we added automake support).

    To fix, I've added this environment varibale to the link lines of all the
    tools. Now, when --enable-static-exec is invoked, it will correctly
    generate statically linked executables in the installed bin directory.

Tested:

    I've tested manually to ensure that the generated execs are static when
    the flag is used and dynamic when not. I've also tested when szip is
    used, as this was a use case mentioned in the bug report.

    Also: ran full tests with make check on jam and smirom for good measure.
