I am also seeing this with a static build of thunderbird 1.0 under Solaris. Note
that i've also built GTK and all of the supporting libraries as static only. The
build goes all to way to linking thunderbird-bin and produces the following errors:

ld: fatal: symbol `XmlGetUtf16InternalEncodingNS' is multiply-defined:
	(file /tools/gtk+-2.6/lib/libexpat.a(xmltok.o) type=FUNC; file
../../dist/lib/components/libhtmlpars.a(xmltok.o) type=FUNC);
ld: fatal: symbol `XmlInitEncodingNS' is multiply-defined:
	(file /tools/gtk+-2.6/lib/libexpat.a(xmltok.o) type=FUNC; file

The original problem is due to the win32 OS libraries being explicitly listed in both static-config.mk and the individual makefiles.  

Glenn's problem is completely unrelated and appears to be due to an naming conflict between the system installed libexpat and the moz-tree version.

[Gregory Szorc [:gps]]

This should be fixed in the current build system.
