Comment(by ioerror):

 Replying to [comment:9 Sebastian]:
 > We shouldn't merge this as-is I believe: static builds on OS X don't
 work generally, and some of the help text is duplicated/slightly wrong.
 I'll work on a followup patch for the things I noticed.

 I think it's fine that it doesn't work for Mac OS X - we should just
 explain that as a limitation _or_ encourage them to build the required Mac
 OS X module.

 We could hack up the autoconf to complain about using this flag when
 building on Mac OS X. Is what you think think would make for a reasonable
 compromise?
