while configure with the parameter --geoip-static on Mac OS X, it is reported that the -Bstatic option cannot be recognized by ld. -Bstatic option can only be used on Linux.
I had the same problem compiling 20080625 on Leopard,
I saved the output, but I forgot to post it :-(
Since then I have renounced to statically link geoip.

I run ld -v, it shows:
@(#)PROGRAM:ld PROJECT:ld64-84.3
it seems not GNU ld?
I think it's an Apple version of ld
On Tiger:
super:~ gtoso$ ld -v
Apple Computer, Inc. version cctools-622.9~2
super:~ gtoso$ ld64 -v
@(#)PROGRAM:ld64 PROJECT:ld64-62.1 DEVELOPER:root BUILT:Apr 20 2007 01:28:10
super:~ gtoso$
On Leopard:
Megatron:mulo administrator$ ld -v
@(#)PROGRAM:ld PROJECT:ld64-77
Megatron:mulo administrator$ ld64 -v
@(#)PROGRAM:ld PROJECT:ld64-77
Megatron:mulo administrator$ ld_classic -v
Apple Computer, Inc. version cctools-667.3~21
Megatron:mulo administrator$
All these show -Bstatic as an unknown option.
Could try to compile Gnu ld (binutils?), perhaps present in the Macports,
but I don't know if it's a good idea...
I don't know if Gnu ld supports Mach-O or Universal Binary...
Geoip is not the only dynamically linked library...
